Why I blog...

There are times us bloggers all wonder why we even do this.  We put our life out there for the world to see and judge.  We potentially put ourselves in situations that could effect our jobs and our families.  But days like today come around and you remember why you do this... I got an email (comment) from a long time blog reader and someone I had the pleasure of meeting in real life in June during a trip to Cincinnati... It makes me feel good that I can have some effect on folks while doing my silly rambling... Larry left this message in my comment section...

You can lose the weight. It's not as daunting as it seems. I know.

I told you before, and I'll tell you again. You (and Sean and Blobby) inspired me to lose weight a couple of years ago when I first discovered blogging and found your blog. Like you, I wanted to participate in Sean's Undie Monday series. You made me determined to lose the pounds.

Between cardio at the gym and joining Weight Watchers Online for Men, I lost a total of 78 pounds. This morning I'm 165 lbs., thanks in no small part to you. In fact, I weigh 30 pounds less today than I did when we had dinner last summer in Cinci. You inspired me Kelly, whether you know it or not, and I want to do the same for you.

Take my suggestion: join WW and hit the gym and the weight will fall off you.

Comments like that make me feel great.  It is a nice way to start off  2012.  So thank you Larry and thank you to all who happen upon this site from time to time... I appreciate you reading and commenting.  Though I do not comment on other blogs often, I probably should start.  Especially if a comment I make could make someone feel as good as I do right now.  Happy New Year Yall!!!
