"You and Jan, if you're straight Eddie there's hope for Dale Winton yet." A comment that came in today.

A repost from a year ago.

My brother was scanning some old photographs today, and sent me a few, the first photo around 40 years ago, before time, age and decrepitude crept up on me. I had forgotten how good looking I was when I was young LOL. I never had an issue with weight, and diets never crossed my mind, until I became a diabetic (5 years ago to the day on Monday) and obese. At diagnosis I weighed over two hundred pounds and at 5ft 7” that is obese I can tell you. Last year my wife took the second pic. Over 50lbs lighter. And four years on 50 carbs per day diet. Looking back at the old photograph, I appear to be in better shape 40 years on. As I often tell people, type two diabetes can be a life sentence, not a death sentence. It certainly kicked me up the butt.

I have to admit, since that photograph was taken I have put on around ten lbs. I only posted it up again to prove I hide from no one, not like the gutless anons that refuse to post even a forum anon name. I will meet any one any time to chew the fat, once they have proved they are genuine.
