Time marches on !

My brother was scanning some old photographs today, and sent me a few, the first photo around 40 years ago, before time, age and decrepitude crept up on me. I had forgotten how good looking I was when I was young LOL. I never had an issue with weight, and diets never crossed my mind, until I became a diabetic (5 years ago to the day on Monday) and obese. At diagnosis I weighed over two hundred pounds and at 5ft 7” that is obese I can tell you. Last year my wife took the second pic. Over 50lbs lighter. And four years on 50 carbs per day diet. Looking back at the old photograph, I appear to be in better shape 40 years on. As I often tell people, type two diabetes can be a life sentence, not a death sentence. It certainly kicked me up the butt.

    Thanks for the kind words ladies, I won’t let it go to my head. I appreciate Johnny Depp won’t be seeing me as opposition.

    Kind regards Eddie

    Is that a "WANTED" poster of you?

    Hope the Police catch up with you. You must have been at the back of the queue when looks were dished out.

    Hello shy one, I see your therapy is going nowhere. You do love your petty taunts don’t you. Glad I have given you something to do today.

    You are right I am ugly, but I’m one hell of a stud.
