While it would be easy for me to take Mike's side on this I believe the answer lies somewhere between modifying the truck and losing weight.
I was at Haspin last year. Mike and the rest of the guys saw how big I was at the time but I still fit behind the wheel of one trucks but not the other as well as I would have liked.
Everyone who has read my very first recovery post and posts since then have seen me write about my FDS (Fat Dampened Steering ) system. Funny yes, healthy not so much.
I was waiting until I had lost some serious weight before posting but since this thread popped up I figured now was as good a time as any to post my progress.
At Haspin I was in the neighborhood of 410-415lbs. This morning I am down 95lbs since then.
Odd thing about it, my joint problems are worse on my knees and ankles. The trucks still don't fit but then they were never designed for guys as big as some of us here.
I wish anyone who wants to lose weight the best of luck but as someone that has struggled his whole life I can tell you that food ranks right up there with Crack as an addiction.
I can't wait for Haspin this year for everyone to see the new (old) me.
