This post\/letter is mainly met for my girls.\u00a0 Lisa, Leia, and Sierra.\u00a0 Some of you have only known the huge Chris while some of you have known a slightly slimmer but still huge Chris.\u00a0 Today, I want to begin taking the word huge or big from in front of my name.<\/p>\n
My nickname growing up, at least within the family, was Big C.\u00a0 For a time it was due to being 6\u20194\u201d tall but then it morphed into meaning large; being tall was secondary.<\/p>\n
Now I hear that most of my family is shedding pounds like it\u2019s going out of style which leaves me alone atop \u201cbiggin\u201d mountain.\u00a0 It really was not that much fun up here when I had company, but now that it seems the mountain can only support me I think it is time I headed down too!<\/p>\n
Slimming down is a high priority, but honestly it is not the highest.\u00a0 My main priority is to keep my blood sugar under control, my goal being to no longer have to take oral medication and to NEVER have to take insulin injections.<\/p>\n
Blood sugar control and slimming down will go a long way to me becoming a healthier Chris.\u00a0 One that will be around to enjoy countless years with my wife, Lisa and to watch my daughter Leia grow up.\u00a0 I don\u2019t want to leave either of them prematurely.<\/p>\n
I admit to having the plan to do this January last year and then again as a New Year\u2019s Resolution.\u00a0 In fact both times I created a blog that was going to be dedicated to my trials and tribulations. Of course each time I started it I did not do a very good job keeping up with posting.\u00a0 Even worse I did not tell anyone about it so it was hard to have any accountability since no one read what I promised or commented on my progress or failures.<\/p>\n
This time around, however, I start here on our family blog.\u00a0 From this post, you see I have a link to my personal blog where I will update everyone on my progress.\u00a0 I hope that many of you will follow that link and elect to subscribe to posts from it as well so you can read my true trials and tribulations.<\/p>\n
I hope that you will become involved in the posts both positively when things are going well and critically if they are taking a turn for the worse.<\/p>\n
