HNT ... the self reflection edition
I decided to play right at the last minute. I had a couple of articles to write tongight for tomorrows paper. Yeah, I don't know nuttin about procrastination do I? There's been a lot going on in my life lately ... the divorce, some other love issues, finding out I'm a co-dependent kinda guy and showing a little obsessive behavior toward a friend. So I went to Doctor Feelgood to see if maybe there was something wrong or whether it was all in my head. She seemed to think there was at least depression and possibly more. After making sure I hadn't had any thoughts about hurting myself (no worries there, I'm really to big a pussy, plus I couldn't even THINK about doing that to my kids. I may be crazy but i ain't selfish or unfeeling) she put me on Wellbutrin and gave me a referral to a psychiatrist. The first appointment available was November 20. Right before the holidays. I should really need it by then! In betwen now and then there is gonna be a lot of introspective self-examination. To illustrate that and for tonight's HNT offering, I give you Tommy by candlelight ...

In other good news, I weighed 188 pounds. That's only 3 pounds above my fighting weight when I got out of Army basic training. I figure 3 more pounds and I'll be happy. I am 5' 11" and that should be a pretty good weight for me to hold ... maybe. The next step is getting back into the gym and working on getting some of that extra skin tightened up and building some curves to break up the "Olive Oyl" body style. It's funny. I have lost 44 pounds and my wife says I still look fat. What do you think?

So there you have it. My HNT offering. Well? What are you waiting for? Go see the Wizard of Os and get nekkid yourself! It's really liberating! HHNT all. Now I'm off to bed.

I think you look great. And congratulations on the weight loss. It is not easy to loose weight, you should be proud of your accomplishment and your body.

You look fab! But work-out is never a bad idea, also helps to clear the mind (at least that's my experience).
Happy HNT!

You are not fat at all. Maybe you just have to define the muscle.
Does not look like you would even have to get the tape treatment if you were in the Army.
The candle picture makes you look like some wise wizard.

Fat? Where? She must be imagining things. And even if you were (& you are NOT) she shouldn't say that to you anyways!
Keep on the right path =)
Happy HNT!

I'm on Wellbutrin + Effexor and I prefer personally the Wellbutrin... At least this one doesn't seem to leave you with too hard withdrawal effect... but if I miss the Effexor 2 days, I'm sure I'll have a very hard night right after... You should be fine... ;-)
About your wife saying that you look fat... well... she probably didn't meet many men yet... ;-)
