I've been having back problems for about a month now, like my lower back was locked up or something. I've tried to beat it with heat, sports cremes, etc, but nothing seemed to work. So, I decided to see my broh in law, who is also my doctor. He doesn't pull any punches with me, so he basically told me that a lot of my problem is coming from the fact that I'm a big, fat, turd. So, as of May 1st, I'm going on the wagon. I'm shooting high, wanna lose as close to 100 lbs as possible. I'm 270 now, so that would put me at prime fighting weight. I'll be on a nutritional program, and I'm also considering hypnosis. I've known people who have had good luck with hypnosis to quit smokin,' so hopefully I'll have good results to stop being a big, fat chit. If not, I guess there is always liposuction or gastric bypass...
