So....needless to say I've been fairly big my entire life. For some reason or another my intense love affair with food has left me longing for something more (than a donut). So I have decided to lose it all and not stop until I have.
I first gained the weight in a feeble attempt to find someone whom loved me for me (sad I know). I felt that if they cared for me and my personality, and my appearance, then nothing could ever come between us. Unfortunately I failed to realize that women are not too attracted to a mouthy, quip extraordinaire and emotionally unavailable Irishman from Massachusetts (yeah, I know....I'm shocked too). So after my last crippling trist with my ex, I have decided that I'm done with being fat....I typically have no trouble taking it off but as I mentioned before, I'm a little crippled right now and feel a need for some motivation.
I came upon this site and I figured....ehhhh....what can it hurt. I like how the site has challenges and diaries and the such. Keeps you on your toes and motivated. I plan on losing 70-80 pounds in the next 3-4 months. In a perfect world that would put me somewhere around 230-240. This may seem to still be big, but I do have alot of muscle (I just like to keep it plenty insulated).
Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself and say hello and wanted to know if I could entice anyone into a little friendly competition. Say a gentleman's bet ($1.00 for those who don't know or a beer after we've completed our goals....I'm Irish not unreasonable). I must warn you that I'm renewing my gym membership (oooooh snap) and I recently purchased a new Reebok elliptical machine/end table.
So I welcome anyone to respond, but I must warn you that I love to poke fun and compete. As long as your o.k. with that....I'm o.k. with you. Sorry if it seems harsh....but I have to do what I have to do to achieve my goals.
P.S. Ladies, I know that you will be pounding down my door to get the catch of a lifetime in a man who has a job, has the bluest eyes you've ever seen and can keep you laughing constantly (although he's a mouthy, quip extraordinaire and emotionally unavailable man). But please, keep your eye on the main goal....to lose some weight and lose a bet to me.
