Thanks to everyone on the advice. I'll let you know if I make any progress.
Just got back from driving hatefulerin and her man to Seattle, so he could put up his art for his opening tomorrow night. Hope I can go- I'm super broke and low on gas. Monday I'm gonna call my supposed temp agency to see if they have anything for me.
Other than that, just been busy at home- my uncle moved in, which is good. He's a good guy, even though he's your stereotypical crazy-has-lots-of-weapons type uncle. I trust him, though. He's the guy who taught me to tie my shoes. Plus he never complains when I bum a smoke off him. Other than that, just been cleaning and moving stuff in and out of the place- uncle moving in, stepdad moving out, me getting stuff out of storage, etc. It's gonna look really good in here when I'm finally finished.
Someone set off a mortar outside and I nearly went into cardiac arrest- I keep forgetting it's the 4th.
Oh, and the band broke up, I guess. It's probably for the best. I have a feeling I'll be in more soon, though- a lot of people are looking for competent bassists, and the few who have heard me like what they hear, I guess. Oh well.
Anyway, hope you're all having a good holiday and stuff- remember, our founding fathers wanted us to get drunk and blow off our fingers!
Or maybe that was the Indians.

I was a fat kid/adolescent (which goes far in explaining my esteem issues...,) and I still get "taped" at my Army weigh-ins -so I have some personal experience too.
Don't overwhelm and discourage yourself with abrupt changes or expectations of immediate results. Two or three pounds per week should be the most to expect, and remind yourself that *any* weight loss is progress. Remember you're making a life-long change, and it will be months to get where you want to be.
You need to ramp-up your physical activity; walking is great, as is biking. If you can make plans with someone to walk or bike together it will help motivate you (bacuase I know you're too polite to stand someone up.) It can actually be fun. I'd avoid jogging/running to start, since a knee or back injury will only set you back. And being heavy already predisposes you to knee and back problems. Strength-training is great as well; more muscle mass increases your resting metabolism. Plus all guys want "big guns." You don't need a gym. Start with pushups, shallow knee bends and lunges. If you want to buy some weights, check out the Salvation Army and garage sales. There's too much good, cheap, used equipment out there to even consider buying new.
Obviously I can go on and on...
Next week: Smoking cessation.
