It's a real challenge because, aside for some "baby blubber," I've never been over-weight. Losing it is doubly hard because my spinal cord injury and TBI interfer a touch with my ability to exercise. Before my accident I was a mega jock so if I monitored calories, it was only to make sure I was getting enough of them. Oh yeah, and thanks to my frontal lobe damage, I now have weak impulse control and find it hard to stay away from junk foods I never would have even glanced at premorbid.

Anyway, wish me luck -I'm going to need it. I'll keep you posted. My rallying cry is "Thin jeans by Easter or bust (literally, bye, bye seams)!
