A thread just for me, SP's Ugly Fat Bastard!
Oh. I don't climb but I do struggle up mountains in all weathers. Slowly of course. But I'm quite happy about that. It means I mainly choose to walk alone to stop slowing others to my pace.
Been doing it since I was 55, nearly 7 years ago, when I discovered what a mountain was. Something like, 1500 to 2000 miles walked every year, and a vertical ascent of 200,000 to 250,000 feet every year since.
For various reasons I even gave up alcohol nearly 4 months ago.
And the impact of all of the walking etc and now no alcohol on my 250 lb , 6 foot body.
Zero. Not one effing ounce of weight lost!
And I do eat fairly healthy. Always have done.
So, sod it.
I'll just keep going the way I am, and take the regular flak about it on these Forums.
And love it as well!
Note to Elves. In reality I am actually quite happy for derogatory remarks about the size of women's breasts to cause a thread to be nuked. But I am equally happy for threads about fat old bastards like me to be kept going ad infinitum.!
