Vanity, thy name is me.
Vanity, thy name is me.
Alright, after reading my own last Blowdown post, I realized that I had to make some changes for this therapy to work. So, I shaved off the goatee. Leaving the mustache, which I've had since my teens, but the goatee has gone.
This should let the FFM seal, solve the mouth-breathing problems, and give me a better incentive to lose weight =)

Re: Vanity, thy name is me.
Yeah, you clean up nice. Better start looking for a big stick; you get any more fit, and you'll need it.

Your avatar does look a lot like you even without the goatee.
My one son has always worn the goatee thing so understand where you are coming from (sort of since I am female).

Re: Vanity, thy name is me.
Didn't get the before shot on that one - did you have a mustache?

Re: Vanity, thy name is me.
Not so much a mustache as a full beard
Maybe I can find some time to dig around for a before pic...

It wasn't about vanity,
it was about brain cells.
Easy choice.

I said that.

Re: Vanity, thy name is me.
I'll never have to worry about mustaches and gotee. Agreed, that takes some commitment to shave it off.

Re: Vanity, thy name is me.
Sounds less like 'vanity' and more like 'sanity'. If you couldn't get a good seal with a goatee and you can without one, that's just good sense. Way to go.

Re: Vanity, thy name is me.
It appears to be working. Leak rate was 0 yesterday and 4.0 last night. 4.0 is the lowest I've had in the month of therapy so far!
