I’m in my 50s, balding and fat.  The balding is hereditary and I’ve vowed not to hide it.  No comb-overs, toupees, or plugs for me. 

Being fat is all my doing.  I love food especially dessert.  My senior year of high school I was 6 feet tall and weighed 170 pounds.  Being a football player, I dreamed of weighing 200 pounds.  My football days are ancient history but I’m still dreaming about weighing 200 pounds.
