Its time to listen!
I weigh more than I ever did all my life - 184 lb (83.4 kg). I am 5 feet 8 inches tall and according to some weight calculators, my ideal weight should be in the region on 145 -155 lb. I weighed 157 lb last summer. I am 24 and my family has a history of heart diseases, diabetes and blood pressure. In short, I am dying faster than I would like to.
As I bent to put on my socks this morning, my Van Heusen corduroy pant ripped from the back. "Why right now God?". I had called for the cab and had minutes to change into something less exposing. I knew couple of my 32' pants had gone tight but I had some 34' ones in my suitcase. As I dug through the bundle of clothes I have never worn after buying them in India, I finally found two pants I could choose from. To my horror, both of them were 32' and I had no choice but to wear one of them. As I pressurized my diaphragms and tried closing the button, I knew it would be a tough day ahead in office. My pants had spoken to me.
I am fat. I knew that ever since I was 14 or 15. But never ever did I feel the need to change my wardrobe. I used to play regularly until I moved to DC. I pretend being exhausted after work each and every evening as an excuse to not visit the gym. Its time I answer the call.
As a favor to my heart I will set a target. I will reduce to 155 lb in the next 13 weeks. On May 17, 2008, when Evan receives his degree at CMU, I shall be back in my 32'.
I need to!!

Thats a blunt admission :)
And 82 with 5.8 suggests that even 34 will scream before it fits you..
Good you ve set a target..Although I havent gained much but ya the part of being exhausted from work even though I m back in time usually is the same here..I hope to replace 2 kgs of fat with sm muscle in the next quarter..lets see if it happens :)
