My stomach was surgically removed a decade ago because I have a mutant gene that predisposes me to stomach cancer.
This should have made me skinny as a rail, since I must now eat much smaller meals and chew each bite forever.
Oh, and I never feel hungry.

But it turns out I& #39;m a miracle!
I may not feel hungry, but I still quite enjoy the taste of food. This, combined with a lifetime of bad snacking habits (and the fact that highly processed foods like chips and crackers are easiest for me to eat) has led me to *gain* weight.

I haven& #39;t worried much about it--bigger fish to fry what with the pandemic and my melanoma scare--but now that I& #39;m cancer free and vaccinated, it looks like I& #39;ll be living well beyond the pandemic.

Problem is, I& #39;m weak-willed. So I& #39;m going to try something new.
I would like to lose 30 pounds. To do this, I& #39;m going to shame myself on Twitter by posting my morning weight each day. I figure that if the world can see my slips and failures I& #39;ll be more motivated.

So, here& #39;s my first weigh-in: 194.4 pounds.
I need to drop to 164 in order to not be considered overweight for my height, gender, age.
Let& #39;s see how this goes, shall we?

If none of this is of interest to you, apologies in advance--feel free to just ignore my first tweet of the day.
Also: If you have any questions about my lack of stomach, feel free to ask. It always seems to fascinate, and I enjoy telling people about it.
