This page was going to be a sob story about why I'm fat.  But I decided, what's the point.  I'm fat, but not nearly as fat as I used to be (by the tune of 65 pounds from my all-time high.)  This site is going to be primarily about my day-to-day life in trying to lose the weight.

I just graduated from a Top 10 law school, studying Tax Law.  While this can be amazingly demanding, especially during finals, my working out and eating right are having an amazing effect on my energy levels.  In any event, the one thing that will be the most determinative of my success will be my weight.  Unfortunately, the law is very prestige obsessed, and you have to look a certain way to succeed.  Thus, my losing the next 80 pounds will have more of an effect on my long-term prospects than my brains.  This sucks, but it's true.  Also, what's the point of having a fancy degree if you won't be around to enjoy it (not that I'm so fat I'll die, but you get the idea.)

I come from a large family (2 brothers, 2 sisters, 3 step-brothers, and 1 step-sister.)  I grew up in California, and am currently doing an internship in Washington DC (which will end in 9 hours...today is the last day.) 

Harry Potter is one of the best series ever.  The West Wing was one of the best series ever, but the writing definitely misses the talents of Aaron Sorkin.

I love to play the piano, hike, play tennis, watch football, and QUILT.  Especially quilt.
