My progress

Post by Norm »

I'm gaining back some of the weight I lost through my situation, those of you who know me know what I mean.
I lost about 30 pounds. Was 190 ish, now am 175 ish. Slim and trim 6'2".

I have my own place, and I'm doing well, as well as I can at least. I'll do better as time passes. The worst is over. I was very sick, and very weak for weeks.

I've been retraining myself in Karate/Kung Fu and am looking damn good.

I can't afford a haircut, so i thought I would give myself a trim. Hahahaha.
It didn't work out as planned, tooo patchy looking so I shaved my head, and am now waiting to grow a few millimeters to turn it into a Marine cut.

The worst part, I have a dark tan, and my head is white lol :D

Thanks go out to everyone who PM'd me and gave me the support they could. Thanks guys/gals. I really appreciated knowing I had some friends when I needed them .....Thanks.

Sincerely

Norm Steadman

Thanks guys/and gals.

I have my ups and downs. Basically I'm improving as time passes though.
Starting to feel like my old self, the guy I was before I met my ex.
I was a good guy, happy, independant, self confident, with lots of energy and goals. I have decided to leave the past twelve years in the past, and move on. The ex, her kids, thier friends and entire family can deal with thier problems without me. I did try and get them some help, but they don't think they need any. Oh well, they can all live in thier fantasy with each other.

I'm a free man again, and loving it. :thumb:
Charges dropped, with a few easy to take conditions that I had put on myself anyway.


Debbie, you should thanks your lucky stars that I am so far away, or you'd be one sore woman, with a grin from ear to ear. :D

Thanks for all the support I get from my friends here and in my neck of the woods.
