  • Someone I used to know died last year. (Kinda inspirational I guess)

    Hope this is in the right place. If not feel free to move this thread.

    I'm not on here much so most of you probably don't know what I do for a living. I am a correctional Officer. I work in a prison. I started my diet last year about 2 months before I got assigned a permanate unit. I've been working my unit everyday sence then. At the time I started my diet I weighed 313lbs. I know weigh in at 227lbs. Resently I got stuck working in a unit that I had not worked in over a year.

    I had an offender that I had problems with before come up to me. He started fishing. (for those who don't know prison lingo, he was testing the waters, seeing what I would let him get away with.) The guy did not recognize me at all! He thought I was new! So I let him think that I was. And when he was done fishing, I slammed him on every single rule violation I could!

    Well, this slick trickster thought he'd talk his way out of trouble by telling me that he'd never had a write up. Thats when I broke the news to him that I had written him up quite a few times before! He tells me, "You didn't write me up for that, it was some fat bastard, but he died last year." "He had a heart attack walkin up the stairs"!

    Well, by god, I guess that thug was right. That fat bastard did die last year! But he didn't die of a heart attack. I killed him!

          What a great story. Funny and poignant all at the same time. Did he at least look a bit bashful when he realised you are the same person - just a thinner version?

                  What a great story! Congratulations on your exceptional weight loss.

                  My DH lost about 75 pounds and has had people walk by him, not knowing who he was. The funniest thing is when someone said to him, "Whatever happened to old D....B....?"

                      Wow! What a great story. You DO look like a different man though to me too.

                      I wonder how much do you have to lose for people to notice, I lost almost 15% of my total body weight but so far no one has noticed. I don't know if that is good or bad but I have shrunk a few dress sizes and I like that.

                            May that fat guy rest in peace! That is a great story, it made me smile and also think too. How far you've gone that you're unrecognisable. Love it.

                            I working really hard to get away with murder myself right now. I've about another 40lbs to go before I can send my fat girl to rest! lol...tough job by the way. You must meet some really strange people.
