I gotta tell you about this young man, the youngest of my stepkids Danny. He was a chubby kid and just got bigger every year. By the time he was a Junior he weighed in somewhere around 350 and didn't do much. He was always a likeable and good natured sort, never met a stranger. A couple years ago, I think while he was a senior he decided to loose weight so he could join the navy. It took him a year or so but he lost more than half of his weight and got down to 160, and got in the navy. He graduated boot camp with top honors (like 4 men from 600 get that honor) Last week he went in for surgery to get rid of the extra skin. They lopped of 10 pounds of loose hide. I guess it is pretty painfull and it will be a month before he can do much. I haven't seen him in 7 years and one of the parts of the Seattle trip I really look foreward to is visiting him. He is stationed at Bremerton. My dad was a navy man (WWII), he would be proud.
