You know, there's a girl who calls me her Jacob.
But I'm not even really like the Jacob's of the world. Jacobs of the world are actually really fantastic guys, they just strike out second to someone who is slightly more perfect than them. I mean seriously, maybe if I were in shape, and succesful at something, no matter how small of a success- yea, then I'd be on the level with the Jacobs of the world. But for right now, I'm fat, out of shape, and generally not doing anything with my life at the moment. I'm really going to change these things though. I tried quitting smoking yesterday, and it almost worked- I only had two cigarettes, opposed to the usualy 10-15 I usually have. So, today, I'm shooting for none. And if I even have one, that's ok too, because it's still less. After quitting smoking, I'm quitting drinking, and going on a diet. Planning on quitting soda, too, and starting exercising. Unfortunately, results dont really happen overnight, It will be months, if not years, until I'm down to my ideal weight. Experts say the normal threshhold for losing weight through dieting is usually one third of your body weight. I weigh about 260 now, so, the maximum I could lose would be 86 lbs, which is way over what I want to lose. An unrealistic goal of mine would be to lose 60 lbs, but I'd be happy if I could even lose half of that.
