Neomadman...as you may or may not know..I am interested in health and physical fitness. Please respond if you wish to take a step in improving your health.
OK, Nytel, this is the second time you've felt the need to express concern over my health and fitness, primarily since I started using a newer picture on my profile. If your concern for my health is real, then I appreciate the sentiment, but I can't help but think that this is no more on your part than the schoolyard equivalent of teasing the fat kid.
For your information, while I am overweight, my health is otherwise quite good. My blood pressure is well within normal limits, and I neither smoke at all nor drink to excess, and I use no drugs or medications other than daily vitamins, and the occasional ibuprofen for minor arthritis. My lack of need for medication, I might add, is a departure from my last 10 years as a JW, during which I required 100 mg. of Zoloft, an antidepressant, on a daily basis in order to function. I am recently married and have an active and healthy sex life. In short, I'm feeling quite good these days, and better than ever, both physically and mentally, since I've been free of Watchtower oppression.
Now if your knee-jerk reaction to seeing a picture of an overweight person still compels you to want to discuss my personal health, I'd suggest you use my email, which is unlocked to all on this board, since I don't think that this is an appropriate subject for public discussion.
