I went to Arizona at the end of Jan to visit my dad and step mom and came to a realization that I have gained a little weight. It kinda sneaks up on ya, a bit here a bit there and then all of a sudden you sweat taking a shower.
Ok, that a bit of a stretch, but I had my reasons for letting myself get to that point. 2009, or I like to consider it the year of F*ck. The whole year just was wrong for me on every level, I had my grandfather and aunt die. My cat of 10 1/2 yrs got sick and died, my live in girlfriend and I of 3+yrs broke up and I lost my job. That was a 3month time frame and a total emotional mind screw.
Well, no more I say, no more of eating to forget, eating to remember. I hit a unhealthy weight of 227lbs for me and it took a pic I took of me and my dad in Arizona to figure it out. Upside of always taking the pictures is you are never in them and so oblivious to the fact you look like you ate yourself.
So, since I got back in Jan I have changed my diet of fast food, soda and snacking to healthier choices and trips to the gym. I am now down to 207lbs and working at my goal of 190. I havent had a soda in 3months, I have eaten more rice then a normal white guy should consume and I can actually see muscle instead of flab when I wave my arm goodbye to the fat.
I am not trying to inspire, but if I can go from 4sodas atleast a day to none, fast food as a primary food source to none then anyone can, you just have to have the motivation. What will yours be?
