One of the blogs I read regularly, Chubbysuperbiker, has a celebratory post. The author is celebrating losing 300 pounds since he began changing his life in 2005. Please read his post, and come back. I’ll wait.

On reading his celebration, I was struck by this statement:
“I haven’t blogged a lot because I’ve struggled with in my head what to blog about. There’s a lot of stuff I want to, but it’s deeply personal, deeply revealing, and deeply the stuff that people struggle with but will never talk about. Varicose veins. What it’s really like to live when you’re morbidly obese. Clothes. Hygiene. Pain, the biggest one of all, pain. All the stuff I wish someone would have told me 15 or 20 years ago, but that I never would have listened to.”
