Disciple's Run
- Thread starter Disciple
- Start date
Making the effort to get up and move your body is a positive. You are making the choice to get better. It's easy to talk one's self out of doing a lot of things. It's much easier to convince yourself that one day missed isn't that bad, or you are not feeling good. The problem is that the more times you justify not moving the easier it is and we fall back into our "old Ways" where we do not even have that internal dialouge anymore, exercise isn't even an option.
I walk up this huge hill behind my house 3 times a week. It is a true nightmare. Kills my legs and just kicks my butt. At times I try to justify to myself why on this particular day, I can't climb that hill I try to talk myself out of it, but so far everytime, I think about why I am doing it and I have hauled my fat behind up that hill and when I am at the top, catching my breath and cursing, I actually feel really good.
This journey is never easy, in fact is is pretty hard. We will continue on this path and we will trip and wander off of it at times but as long as we come back all is good.
You are doing awesome, keep up the great work and you will be rewarded.

ok my name is Jusselin Rabalais i am not Arab but Cajun lol, at my biggest point i weighed approx. 750 pounds over last last 2 years i was kinda forced to loose about 100 pounds and then a trip to the ER changed my attitude...i now weigh 500-499and am doing my best to get down to 220, i hav ehad ups and downs more downs than ups lol but i am in it to win it....wish me luck
not to mention none of my weight loss has been via surgery or pills
Dude, seriously...that's fucking AWESOME. In all honesty, you should be really proud of yourself for that. A lot of people just wuss out, refuse to work to lose weight and opt for surgery. I'm glad you didn't do that. In the end, it will make everything you accomplish much more meaningful and truly satisfying. You know, like the kind of satisfication that you get when you take a really big dump and it all stays in one piece. Then, before you flush it, you take a look at it and go, "DAMN!!!" Yeah, that kind of satisfaction.
Anyway, I'm pumped that you joined our contest. It's nice to have a fellow dude to help push me along and serve as inspiration during my own trek to weight loss.
I'm going to be checking in on you regularly, so keep up all of the hard work. If you keep it up, you'll be swimming in a sea of hot naked chicks in no time. But, if you slack off, I'm going to slap your face and then make you eat a piece of dog poop. And not a fresh piece either. Like, one of those old ones that's already gotten all white and dried out. Yeah, so...keep it up.

i have been going through quite a bit lately....it takes alot for me to say this and most people would think i am a hypocrite, i am not a hypocrite i am a man going through alot who handles things wrong.... a man that seekis forgiveness from his creator and a man who wants his story not to end in tragic death via heart attack or some medical condition that could have been prevented....my future wife is in south texas she is with her parents saving up for our wedding, while I had to move to southeast texas to work for my fmily so we could have an appartment to live in and something to move into once married...we have been apart now for 9 months and only get to see each other every 3 months we talk on the phone every night and txt each other every day....she is faithful to me, loves me like no one else....and i am faithful to her and cant wait to be together again.....we both love working with the church and helping where and when ever we can.....but in this last 9 months i have been devestatingly depressed.....i slowly started smoking again when all of a sudden i was invited to drink....i started drinking again (all because of the depression i was facing and the pain) well with in the last month i was offered weed and started getting hihg again.....yesterday was just about it for me i got so high i consumed about 6 pounds of meet some beef some chicken some pork.....i have gained back about 15 pounds and i am on my last Leg, i am not writing this for sympathy or for any one elses harsh comments either i am writing because i need it off my chest....this has GOT TO STOP NOW!!! i can not live like this any more i have to tear through this........AM I A WINNER OR NOT! WAS I NOT CREATED FOR MORE?!?! where is my life going......i am hurting, this is hard food was my drug and when that was taken away i turned to other things....do you ever wonder why its so hard for YOU to BELIEVE in YOU???? because when someone believes in you....YOU WIN! but when YOU believe in YOU everybody WINS!!!!!
my quest to believe in myself begins.....my quest to become a champion
do i have what it takes???

Disciple.. YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES!!! Put the weed down. That is just setting you up for failure. You recognize your weaknesses, take those before our father. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowlege him and he will make your paths straight. Don't give up. I think it would be helpful to educate yourself on the foods you should be eating and the calories you need. I think you were deprived.. anytime we do that we set ourselves up. I think its some type of subconscious sabotage.. I have been guilty for that. Im sure that being away from your lady is hard. But look at the big picture! There is a prize at the end!!! Your bride! I just wanted to offer some encouragement to you today.. Jeremiah 29:11 .. look it up
God Bless

Hey my friend don't worry about messing up I have been really depressed lately and I have eaten like crap the last few days too. But you know we aren't doing this because of other people we are doing this se we can look out when were 70 and say you know what I faced my problems and I kicked there asses. I won I didn't let them get me. I know how you feel about the dinking and drugs. For a while I let my life go and didn't care what happened because well honestly i thought my life was just shitty. I look back now and realize that it really wasn't that bad and I long for my life to be like it was then. I understand how you feel about being alone. I am married but if you have read my dairy you know I really am alone. You just gotta push through and remember that it will be better and soon. When you see your beautiful bride walking towards you everything you have been through and everything you have sacrificed will all be worth it. When you find yourself in a hole don't give up just keep trying and soon you will be out and back on your way to getting healthy so you can spend the next 50 years holding on to the ones you love. We are all here for you man and if you ever need anything even if its someone to yell at just to get it out I'm here and I know there are tons of others here for you to. Believe it or not this place has become like a family for me some people I hate and some I have grown to love. The point is we aren't gonna let you give up. We all want to see you get your ass down that isle and start your married life right. 3 months from now you will look back and say hey I did it I am awesome because you are. Sometimes we just need a little push to remind us.
