To shrink or not to shrink ?
That is the question...

Not that feel i need to explain myself to anyone but realize that people that have known for years or have followed my career may have noticed there has been a fluctuation in my weight.


Now of course my weight when i first started appearing on tv was attributed to me being an ex ball player and a starving artist. My weight gain over the following years were a testament to me gaining some loot and having enough to buy groceries on the regular. I went from 220 lbs to 285lbs what seems like overnight and because nobody mentioned it I never thought of myself as a big dude... really!!!


Then I was diagnosed with diabetes and my doctor told me straight up lose weight or die. Wasn't like he had to say that for two or three appointments I went right to work at shedding pounds . Now that I'm back to 225 svelte pounds people have asked me if I was ok or was I sick like ...


maybe I had been hitting the pipe

or


contracted a big disease with a little name. Truth is I've been afflicted with a condition that many in my family have suffered from. I've been battling it with proper diet medicines and exercise... ok I do cheat and go to McDonald's from time to time and I hate jogging ...but I do get alot of exercise walking my dogs

and I've been taking two pills a day. The fact that I took heed to what my physician said has me here for my friends family and fans to share my humor and my smile with.
