I have gone back and forth with this one too. When I got clean I weighed about 140 ( 6'4" and 140, do you see a problem with this???)

I soon got up to about 215....

A few years ago I became really obsessive about eating right and exercising. I turned a good thing into an unhealthy thing pretty quick. balance is hard. That all or nothing crap makes doing simple things like eating right kinda difficult.

Now, I am taking a medication that causes rapid weight gain, and I have pretty bad foot problems ( probably induced by too much exercise) so I am forced into a state of willingness to find balance. I cannot spend hours in the gym, and sitting around will give me the chance to watch my waist expand. So, now I have to watch what I eat. The moral of the story????

Sometimes it takes what it takes to make me willing to make a healthy change.
