knowing that I was in trouble, I also knew the simple solution...the solution to most of my physical ills throughout my life..and it was to lose weight..a lot of weight. I resolved to get to a healthy weight. I remembered that I weighed 150 pounds when I was married at the age of 21 and that I could while I was single maintain that weight pretty well..so that was my original goal weight. After research on the internet I found that the highest weight considered 'healthy' for my frame was 145 and so that became my final goal..one that I knew I would have to maintain for the rest of my life, in order...
