so i'm a 28 year old male dude from southern california. i'm about 5' 11" and weigh about 260 lbs. i've been chubby all my life, but there was a time after high school where i dropped a little weight and life was good. maybe 2 years ago my girlfriend sent me to dumpsville... population. me. lol.
Now, i've always been pretty mellow and easy-going dude and figured, "another quaalude and she'll love me in the morning!".. nope. never heard from her again.. ouch. i was cool with it, and moved on but i was surprised how much it would affect me, subconsciously, down the road. Change scenes to about 6 months ago.. i finally got the nerve to go out and meet a nice chick that i started dating. It became increasingly difficult to become intimate when all i had on my mind was how disgusted i was with my body.
All these weird emotions: embarrasement, frustration, dissapointment, awkwardness etc all paraded through my head. And i realized how much my break-up with my ex-gf played on my confidence now. that bitch. Dont worry though, your boy was able to pull the trigger.
(must've left the safety on he he..)
Soon afterwards i decided to work on that confidence by way of getting in shape. The new girlfriend wasnt very supportive though, so it was a pain dealing with her. why was she so against me working out?... i dont know. she was cool with me being a big lop but i was not. after months i decided to join a gym with my buddy and go work out every morning. my gf gave me some ultimatum about doing all this and the truth came out. she somehow had it in her mind that i was trying to get fit so i could dump her for another chick. didnt realize how looney she was, so we parted ways. I'm on my own again, and feel like i've lost alot of months thanks to a non-supportive person. I came across this website and figured, "what the heck". I need supportive people to help motivate me and inspire me. I've since been doing some weight training and a bit of cardio. I used the treadmill today, for the first time, and when i was done i didnt realize it would leave you somewhat dizzy because i had it on a high level incline for about an hour. luckily my homie warned me i'd feel a little off balance once done. i survived today but i'm pretty sure i'm going to eventually fall or walk into someone .. lol. (man i'm out of shape... tsk tsk.) Here's some early before pics. i'll post my results throughout my journey. i hope to be down about 50 to 80lbs before the end of the year.
early pic about 1 month ago.
