Just a little less than a year ago, I was a man with a plan and a goal. Starting at 323lbs, I wanted to get myself in shape, live healthier, and actually pull my life together. Over the course of 6 months, I succeeded in every aspect, losing 40lbs and getting down to 283lbs!! I was feeling good about my life and the direction I was going. Then the weight loss stopped coming. I hit a serious plateau, and with the holidays approaching, my diet and goals fell quickly by the wayside. Over the 6 months since, I’ve tried to get back on the wagon. Each time, I soon lost the will and the reasoning to keep going.
I had excuses – too busy to concentrate on the diet – I’m too stressed out to diet … I just didn’t care anymore. In recent weeks, I’d hit rock bottom and I knew it. I started eating at levels WELL beyond what I was doing before I even started the diet…. sometimes having what would easily qualify as 2 or 3 meals at a single sitting. In 6 months, I’ve gone from 283lbs ballooning up to my current weight: 302.5. That’s an almost 20lb gain – regaining nearly half the weight I lost the first time!
This lifestyle comes to an end TODAY! I’m officially relaunching the site. I’ll be posting daily updates to what’s going on and how I’m doing on the journey. I’ve also started a Twitter account specifically for the new journey – you can follow me at http://www.twitter.com/FatGuyonaDiet. There you’ll get a more up to date and recent look at the progress I’m making. It’s also where you’ll find me posting and discussing meals as I have them.
So join me, once again, as I begin my journey to lose the weight that’s held be back all these years!!
