A new start to a new life.
Well here I am. I am now 31 years old in the same position I have been way to many times. That position is me starting a plan for me to get healthy and lose weight. Some people say sometimes you have to hit rock bottom before you are finally able to do something about it. Well as far as I am concerned I have hit that rock bottom. I am making my line in the sand I guess you could say.
I figure i am at my "rock bottom" for a few reasons. The main one is not that big of a shock. I got a new primary doctor last week, and of course part of the visit means I had to get on a scale. When the number came up there was a small sigh of relief. That relief being that in the last three weeks I had not gained any weight. That relief quickly went away, bec as much as I was happy that I had not gained any weight I was in no means happy with the weight I was at.
I was just under hitting a mile marker that i never thought I would even be near. That marker being 400lbs. I was just under and I vow to not ever see that high of a number ever again when it comes to my weight. I need to do this now, bec if I don't I wont be seing the next decade roll over and that is a fact.
So it is time to stop all the lying, and by that I mean the lies I have been telling myself. So from now on its the truth about my weight whether I like it or not. So the first thing is telling people how much I truly weigh and that I have done. The next is to list the reasons on why I need/want to lose weight. These are not in any specific order just as they come to mind.
1. Health reasons aka lower BP, Cholesterol and better manage my diabetes and possibly eliminate the need for medications
2. Ease the pain in my back and joints
3. Have more energy to do things and hang out with friends
4. Look better so that I can find that special someone (Now I am not saying that looks are everything. And yes I know i need to find someone who loves me for me and not what I look like. But lets all be honest. Looks do play a part on whether you are attracted to someone.)
5. To be Happy with myself. (I know until that happens number 4 wont happen.)
Well for those who read this: This entry was more for me then anything else. It is me being honest with myself. This is my start to living a healthier life. I ask all of you to help me by giving me encouragement and making sure I am keeping on track.
PS If there is anyone in the Green Bay area that would like to join me in working out let me know.
