To know where I am now, you will need to know my past. My whole life I have been overweight, made fun of, blah blah blah, like everyone else who has been overweight we have all experienced the same treatment. Most of us usally get this way, because we trick ourselfs to thinking that we really do not care what we look like and people should just accept us for who we are. Exercise and dieting is not new to me, my father for the most part of my life was a body builder and a personal trainer. Of course, my father tried and tried to get me into working out, but at the time it just was not my cup of tea. Yet again I was tricking myself into thinking that, I did not care what I looked like and people should just accept me for who I am.
May 10th, 2007 I weighed in at 280lbs. I remember this day so well. This was the last day of finals in college, and for the past 2 years me and my g/f lived together and went to college together, and we ate together... so on and so on we were just always together 24/7. We here highschool sweethearts and we just had life planned out because after college we were going to get married. On the 10th she decided she wanted to see other people, that it just was not going to work out. I also found out she cheated on me and was already seeing someone else. We had been dating for 3 1/2 years, and my whole way of life changed that day.
I decided to change my life and myself. I am joining this forum in the middle of my journey, but some say the middle is usally the hardest part. For the past 2 months I kicked butt in the gym and on my diet. I lost 30 pounds, but after that 30 pound marker It seems like I hit a wall. For the past month I have only hit the gym maybe twice a week and have just thrown my diet out of the window.
Monday Sept 17, 2007 is the start of my 2nd and final phase to reach my goal. I hope my long story does not bore you, but I just wanted to let people know where I have come from to get to where I am now. The end of that relationship sparked my whole desire to change my life. I am glad it happened for I would not be where I am now, if it didn't.
I am glad I have stumbled on to this forum not only to find support in my life, but to help support so many other to spark their journey on this rewarding road.

Good luck ( even though I have a feeling you won't need it)!
