O Is For Obesity
He did a cost benefits analysis to prove it would be cheaper to pay for his bariatric surgery than to let him continue on his path.
He lost 175 pounds, gained 25 back and has been holding steady for many years now. After they stapled his stomach, it went from the size of a football to the size of an egg.
We recently spent three days together and he assured me multiple times, he has no curtains on his johari window. And he also said he was addicted to food, after sharing that I had overcome an addiction.

Lane 8 In Finland 2009
Last night I experimented with a WordPress front page “sticky post”. This allows bloggers to indefinitely keep a certain blog post as the very first post. Like a sticky note.
If it works, regular Lane 8 readers will see the same “Welcome to Lane 8″ post indefinitely. This is really for first time readers to give them a quick look at what Lane 8 is about. All you’ll have to do is simply scroll past it each time you visit, to get the daily Lane 8 post.
Do you experiment? At work? At home? With your diet? With your exercise routine? With your rest? With your motivation?
