NAUGATUCK, CT – Local resident David Putney can “die happy now,” comforted by a lifetime-topping accomplishment of losing fifty-eight pounds at the age of forty-two. Putney, a single claims adjuster, reportedly began his weight loss journey/biggest lifetime accomplishment last January. “It’s amazing, you know?” a teary-eyed Putney said. “I feel like a whole new man, a whole new person. I’ve never done something this huge. My family is really proud of me. I can die happy now.” A perennial fly-on-the-wall, Putney never once earned high grades, volunteered for a charity, competed in a 5K footrace, finished college, won an award, wrote a poem, raised a child, built something with his own two hands nor matched other various achievements by friends, peers and family members. “We’re blown away,” said Putney’s mother Dorothy. “I saw him for the first time since last summer and…he’s really come full circle. Really grown up and accomplished something.” Putney reportedly plans to build upon his peak accomplishment by cutting back to one pack of cigarettes of a day.
