The Evolution of My Obesity

As mentioned in my previous post, my parents kept records of my life in a book called "those wonderful school years." It had a section in it for each year Kindergarten through Senior year of High School to store class pictures, report cards, awards, etc. It would also have an area where I'd fill out my teacher's name, what i want to be when I grow up, best friends name, age, height, weight, etc. My parents would make me fill it out every year in my own handwriting which got annoying by the time High School rolled around but I must admit that I appreciate it now. Yeah yeah, mom and dad were right and I'd recommend that any parent do this with their kids too just to see the progression of their penmanship. ;-) Anyway, without rambling any further, here is a history of my height and weight thanks to this book:

This is information that will be useful to someone at some point down the road, perhaps a nutritionist? I'm not exactly sure why I'm including this information, but I'm sure we'll find it useful at some point during the evolution of this blog. All that matters now is that I gained 50 lbs in the 10 years after High School, then 50 more in the 3 years after that and we need to go the other way now.
