A simple NO would have sufficed Chief. Insult to injury is requesting permission to remove the green garbage can by Brutus. That is unforgivable as to both the placing and request for removal of said garbage can. You are fortunate that you chose Brutus. Any other person would have removed it and put it where the sun doesn’t shine in your body. it is fortunate for you that Brutus is a very good man…..
It can be depressing at first but it can also be an incentive to achieve that goal with each pound you lose getting you closer. And while there will be fall backs, keep plugging forward. I have loss almost 100 pounds from my maximum weight years back and have kept most all of it off of my 6-3 frame. My goal was to get to my Army weight which l have an d still maintain. So each day you have to weigh yourself even if you know you won’t like the results. You will in the long run my friend…..
No question about that……
