So, I used to be on here a while back, but then I had a melt down and disappeared for a while. Well, my melt down is far in the past and I'm ready to get back on track. Ok, let's get this thing (re)started...
When I left here last year (or whenever the hell it was, who knows?) I wasn't in the best of shape, but at least I wasn't a morbid wreck. WEEEEELL, as time went on I packed on the pounds and ended up becoming a huge mess again. Now, to be fair, some of it was due to medical issues (I have really bad sleep apnea and, during the time it really decided to kick into gear, I gained a shit ton of weight), but a lot of it was totally my fault; I ate like crap, I didn't exercise and I just didn't care. And, that totally sucked, because when I was originally a member here at WLF, I lost a TON of weight. I went from 290 lbs down to 220 lbs during that time and I don't remember a time that I was happier with my body before that happened. Buuuuut, I rediscovered the sheer joy of stuffing my fat jowls with the greasiest, most disgusting and unhealthiest of foods. I started packing so much shit in my foodhole that I had an Alvin & The Chipmunks face. I felt like I should've put on an oversized red turtleneck dress sweater thingy with a big "A" on it. Only, the "A" wouldn't stand for "Alvin" - it would stand for "AAAAAAAAAH, I'M FUCKING FAT!!!" I mean, let's be honest - eating pizza, fried chicken, ice cream and a bunch of other bullshit every night is a pretty satisfying adventure and it's a hard vacation to end. That is, until you find yourself getting out of breath simply walking up a small flight of stairs. That's when you start to go, "Maybe I should lose a few pounds." It also helps when your girlfriend gives you "the look." You know, "the look," guys - the one that makes your stomach turn in knots, your heart skip a beat and your boy parts cramp like your calf after sitting Indian style on a hardwood floor for a half hour? Yeah, THAT look.
SO, I'm ready to get back on track and get a super awesome body and stuff.
I weighed in last Monday at 258 lbs. That is when I restarted my weight loss journey. I began watching what I ate and took a little control of my life back. And, it's paying off. As of yesterday, I weighed in at 249 lbs. My ultimate goal is to get down to 200 lbs, but my realistic goal is be down around 210 or 215 lbs. As long as I'm in good shape, have a decent physique and both feel and look healthy, I'll be more than happy. Oh, I also have to have rock hard abs too. I want abs so ripped and hard that I can grate cheese on them. Yeeeeeah...aaaaawesome. ANYWAY...
As for right now, I'm doing a little bit of the "low carb" thing. Now, before everybody jumps down my throat, I'm not going overboard with it. I'm just cutting out unnecessary carbohydrates for a little while (pizza crust, cakes, breads, sweets, etc - the things I don't need). I'm still getting carbs, just from healthy sources such as fruits and vegetables. So, don't worry - Chef isn't being an idiot. Not this time anyway...just give me time though, I'm sure I'll do something moronic in the near future. And, when I do, I'm sure Jen won't hesitate to tell you all about it. Oh, yeah...Jen is my girlfriend; Jen Renee. I actually met her on this forum. Yup...so...yeah. Deal with it.
Anyway, I'm glad to be back.
