Where do I even begin on this? First, I never had a doctor tell me to lose weight. Now, most of times at the doctor was a physical before school started or to get drops for swimmer's ear. I went to the doctor twice after high school. One was to get a flu shot, I don't know why, never did before, haven't since. The next time I went to the doctor was in 2008.

When I went back, I didn't want to get on the scales, I didn't want to see the number. I never had any idea what my weight was until that day. Not because I looked, but the nurse said it out loud. I did my best to ignore, I've done that for entirely too many things. Ignore it and it will go away.

There was a time in my life, if I had heard the nurse say that number I would have been furious. This time as soon I as I heard it, the light bulb went off. It was the trigger I needed to set me on the path I need to lose the weight, be the man I wanted to be living a fit, happy life.
