Day 449 - Pain - The Ultimate Motivator

Taylor's Theory of Consequence, developed by yours truly, clearly states "a world without consequence will surely slip into chaos."

Not extinct. Not extinct at all.

A year and a half ago I was suffering the worst type of consequence - insurmountable pain. Joint pain. Back pain. Butt pain. Toe pain. When I awoke in the mornings, there were very few parts of my body that did not hurt.

That was the catalyst for my weight-loss surgery. You all know this because we've covered it numerous times in this blog.

Over the course of the last 9 months, I've not lost any weight. Last fall I hit 275 and just stopped losing. Not so coincidentally, it was around this time that I regained a bit of an appetite. I introduced some new-fangled dietary supplement called sugar back into my diet, much to the chagrin of my doctors. I also became a bit lethargic, and dropped my normal walking routine to participate in the Couch Olympics.
