I cringe when I hear somebody referred to as "fat", "obese" isn't much better of a word. Up until the age of about 23, I had a weight problem. I was about 300...
Althouh most of us probably could stand to lose 20-30 pounds most of us don't. We don't want to admit that we start a rigorous exercise program only to later...
I forgot to say that I used to eat my stuff I sold but I started thinking like the old shoe maker that doesn't make his own shoes. I actually went and ate too...
I agree here also. I have bought soda machines on the private market but have mostly been lucky. I once got one that looked great and fairly new. I set it...
Thanks Steve. I bet you hardly recognized that guy at your company after the weight loss. I still see people that knew me that now have no idea who I am! It is...
