I always find myself looking for reasons to procrastinate the start of a new diet. But the reality is, today is the only day to start. And I don't want to see it as a diet, I want to see it as a life change. I feel addicted to poor, destructive eating habits and I feel it's not how a human should live, so I want to stop.
I was on some medication for a while and I gained 40 pounds in two years. I am no longer on the medication, but the excess weight still remains. I do not want to live like this anymore, it's not fair to myself, to my wife, and especially to my first child who will be born any day now. Both of my parents are overweight and were as I grew up, and I want to end this cycle. I want to show my child what it means to be a healthy human being.
So my plans are to start slowly. Set manageable goals, lose this weight slowly, and change my habits, change my outlook on food and eating. I would love a buddy to support and be supported by. I'm male, in my mid to late twenties and want to go from 225 lbs to 170 lbs over a long period of time.
I've looked around a bit and this seems to be a great forum. I love forums. Nice job mods.
