By July 1, 2009, I had regained the 70 pounds that I lost during 1999 plus a 46 pounds bonus. I spent 28 weeks loosing 70 pounds in 1999 and the next 9+ years regaining all the weight I lost plus the 46 pound bonus. On July 1, 2009, I was 116 pounds heavier than I was in August of 1999. Much to my chagrin, July 1, 2009 also set the record for my highest weight ever. I am definintely disappointed / frustrated / annnoyed (and every other synonym available) at this unfortunate fact. Overall, I am very disappointed (and embarrassed) by this constant weight gain, and my lack of substantial action about loosing it. I have wanted to loose weight since I gained all I lost back, but unfortunately, I have experienced only multiple false starts, at least one false start a week. In 2009, I turned 62. If I don't loose substantial weight now, I probably never will. I want to loose at least 50 pounds by December 31, 2009, and another 90 or so pounds in 2010.
Most of my substantial weight losses have been in years ending in 9. In 1979, I was the thinnest of my adult life, about 160 pounds or so lighter than my weight on July 1, 2009. In 1989, I lost about 60 pounds, and in 1999, I lost 70 pounds. Unfortunately, I gained the weight back along with a bonus each time. In 2009, I hope to repeat my weight loss successes in years ending in 9. The main difference is I want the weight loss in 2009 to be permanent unlike the previous weight losses which unfortunately were all temporary.
I am enjoying my retirement immensely, and only have one regret - I did not loose significant weight since I stopped working. I hope to have many more enjoyable years of retirement, but I want them to be as a thinner man (just thinner, I know I won't be thin)....Next Update July 15 2009...
