This week -

Been up and down today.. Lots going on between work and home. Stressors at their best, below is an awesome link. It's a story of a man who is personal getting heavier then going to lose it all - to see what it's like to be obese, and he is already addicted to all the foods he has been eating. Never seen a test like this before. Pretty intense.

Busy Week

This week I will be short staffed at my place of work, so additional stress will be present.
I need to go for a walk or stretch my legs rather than eat when this occurs. New positive attitude will need to come through for me on this one..

Friends and Family

When I hit the pillow every night, I think of my wife, kids, and my friends who have stuck by me all these years. Being large, gives you a sense of being alone. Even though you have these special people in your life, you still feel like your a person outside looking in. Wishing you can be a smaller faster person, that could do much more. You think your too large to even try to get to that point and start a new journey - but you always have to try. And this is what I need to get burned into my mind, to make the hill and keep going - and don't quit so easily.

I hope this new blog and my writings will help me and others take these steps to a better body and well being. Thanks for reading.. More later.

Weekend - trying to keep busy

This weekend, I ate quite a bit. When I get nervous or need to calm down, I snack. And like a drinking or smoking, it's an addiction and it's very hard to stay in control. News reports and other statistics indicate over 64% of the US now is considered overweight. I am not trying to make excuses, but the pattern is clear... Life is tough, enjoy a good meal and love what you eat, and get fatter. It's quite hard to stop. In my posts, I know my grammar won't be perfect, electronics, humor, and motorsports are my strong points - grammar.. However could be better. :)

This weekend is a new start!

I had a good day today with a best friend. We spent time reflecting on life and the overall troubles of the world, and he jotted down some notes in his Journal. I asked him if he always kept a journal, and he said "yes, I write quite a bit actually."

This got me thinking quite a bit, I used to write a lot as well but never kept at it. In HighSchool I wrote short stories and about some tough times I dealt with in school, and then stopped for many years. Starting writing again off and on a several months ago, but that also didn't stick. All while this has been happening, one thing is for sure I always knew. I am severely overweight and I need to do something about it.
