So here it starts. I have begun an exercise in self discovery and opening my soul to strangers. If anyone does read this, welcome to my life. You are only limited only by what I am willing to share or talk about.
It all started with a name. What should I call my blog? I settled on Fat Man’s Hustle. It is just one of those things that has stuck with me for the last 10 years. There is a story behind the name and its significance in my life. To be perfectly blunt, I am a fat man. I have been over 300 lbs since 1993 and I have never been under since. I am fortunate that I am 6’2” and my current 320 lbs is evenly distributed from head to toe.
About 10 years ago, I was playing squash with my wife. During one of our games, I was running after the ball. As I was swinging my racket, my body kept moving, completely ignoring my attempts to slow down. After the wall abruptly stopped my momentum, we burst out laughing. In my wit and wisdom, I commented, “Hey, it’s the fat man hustle. Once I get it all going it’s hard to stop.”
What can I say, it’s all in a name.
Dude, you lost some weight, didn't you? I weigh around 246 lbs now! :)
ReplyDeleteGetting up there. :) I was 380 a year ago and I came down to 309. I bounced back up to 350ish and now back down to 320. My goal is 290 by the end of May. 10 lbs per month.
