A family friend from Pittsburgh had visited earlier this month. She has encouraged me to be more active by walking, lifting weights and adjusting my diet. I weighed around 320 lbs. at the beginning of the year. This morning, I weighed 281.

Sticking to a diet is tough sometimes, especially when I see something tempting. An online food reviewer named Daym Drops combined Wendy's chicken nuggets, fries and chili into one dish. He called his creation the "Big Messy" and said Wendy's should make it a regular item.
