Weight Loss, Just Doing It

So in March of 2016 I started to lose weight in a meaningful manner. I had a bit of a rough go of it this last few months as I been off the wagon more than on. But I'm back at it. At the start of recording my weight I was 465 lbs. Before that (2 years before that) I was 498 lbs. I really did not try hard to drop that first bit as you may have guessed.

The fact that I have lost this weight has been a blessing to my joints. But years of abuse from being VERY plus sized has done damage and stairs are still very hard for me to manage. In fact one of the big reasons I moved to where I am now is there is an elevator.

Way back when I could not even walk 1 block without stopping and resting for a while. 9 months into the weight loss in earnest, I was able to go 2 blocks before needing to stop. Now I can manage bout 5 or 6 blocks before needing to stop.

The sad note is I have damaged my heart with a long term extreme size so I will never be 100% again. The good thing there is the medication I am on is able to get me back to a functional level. Without it I would not be doing half as good. I still have a long way to go and it may just take years to get there, but I'm on it and won't give it up till I'm done.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

AI Image Generator Is Not So Intelligent

Image
Images created with Deep Dream Generator , and are free to use.   Asked for "a child walking into the sunset with the ghost of his grandfather." Got this instead. Asked for "a grandmother holding a baby in an old kitchen while a cat sits on a window that is streaming sunlight." This one actually worked, "a mother and son on a park bench eating an apple."

A Comment That Just Made Me Wonder About The Person

Image
I normally go out of my way not to make a deal out of comments but I'll do it this time. Please don't go looking for the comment either, leave the person alone please. So when you do a review of a movie, or on a trailer for a movie, you put the year it was released in brackets after the name, so people no it from another movie of the same or similar name. This is standard practice. How someone could be on the internet for over a week and not have noticed this is astonishing to me to say the least. Then again this channel of theirs is less than 2 or 3 months old only, so there is a possibility they are just trying to be funny, or trying to draw out a bad reaction. I don't look down on the person for this in any event, but I just am wondering how the hell you don't know this. They seem to think the (2023) is when I uploaded the video when in reality it was indeed 2024 when I uploaded - No one is trying to fool you dude, it's not a trick. Anyway, here is the comment in...
