As a Chef, I always could choose the best foods to eat, sure I'd have my fill of fast food burgers, pizza and other crap when I was growing up.
January 1st, 2024...started a vegetarian diet, no alcohol no meat, seafood, fish most dairy except Greek yoghurt... Lost 40 pounds, lifted weights, running, walking... Etc.
BEST DECISION in quite a few years, new clothes, new outlook, when I glance in the mirror it's a new me... Just need a few more pounds to get to 165.
Just moved from Portland Oregon to San Antonio Texas.. Last week.
Sometimes ya do something for yourself. Alter the direction.
