Right now, this site is for me as it’s only just been started and no one has seen it yet. That doesn’t mean that others cannot benefit.

In fact, I know my struggles are similar to millions of others out there who have lost weight, put it back on, lost some, gained even more and back n forth… I have been there. I am there. I wont be there much longer.

So I guess I am writing to say that this site is for everyone who needs inspiration. I need inspiration and so it is for me, if you need inspiration it is for you.

This is not a diet program, merely a log of what I will be doing along with the assistance of my personal trainer to reach my target weight, ofcourse anyone finding any of the suggestions helpful should, as always, check with their physician first.

I’d love to hear from you, hear your own stories and even receive your support. I promise in return to be diligent about my goals, stick to my plan and inspire all of you who have struggled for your entire life with your weight problem, like myself, to kick the habits in your life that are holding you back and form new ones to propel you forwards.

This blog is for everyone who needs a little inspiration.

Weight A Minute

Typo? Nah.

I’ve got a problem. I’m over weight. For those of you who have been following might remember I said I’m a damn good cook. But maybe I’m over weight because I am a phenomenal eater.

But like most warm-blooded citizens of the world, I don’t exactly fancy the exercise stuff. It’s strenuous on my back. But then again, I should be learning to Love it… after all, Heart attacks, diabetes and cancer run in my blood too. Being Over weight really puts me on the shitty end of that stick so I’m gonna work on that. I’m telling you because I expect you to help me.

Are you curious yet as to how much help I need? Well, it’s not that bad. I could stand to lose a pound or two or eighty. Closer to eighty though. I’m about 5′10″ and weigh 244 pounds, according to that BMI thing, I should way 165 and still they’d put me on the heavy side of the average.

My waist is abouy 40-42 inches, my goal is 32-33.

So thats your work cut out for you, 10 inches and a hundred pounds, let’s get cracking. But before you go, I want you to sleep on some promises you are going to help me make, things to cut out, things to do etc. I need a plan I can stick to and someone to stick me too it.

That someone is you.

It’s the one thing in my life that I’ve failed at many times, but I am built to succeed so I know you can help.

Who Am I?

This is a question which is commonly responded to simply with a name. But that is not who I am, that is only what they call me. Although we may never meet, I want you to call me L.

I’m young, in my twenties actually. Studying hard, working harder. I live in a huge house and drive a fancy car but I can’t take my girlfriend to dinner. Funnily, I can barely take her to a movie. It’s a money thing.

The house isn’t mine – I live with the folks. The car technically is mine but I can’t afford it.

Who pays for it? Pops does, of course. It’s a silly story really, I work for Pops and make a decent salary (on paper), but Pops really cant afford to pay me and so I can’t afford my car, technically therefore, neither can he – but bless his heart he tries. It makes him one miserable fucker though.

I work with him and believe I’m a genius, mostly because I’ve excelled in everything I’ve ever really set my mind to. I’m a good student, I’m good at my Job, a damn good cook, and believe I can run circles around anyone nationally when it comes to my line of business.

This makes it hard to be me… I know I’ll be rich, I’ll make those millions. There isn’t a person who ever met me that thought otherwise. That’s because of my mouth… I forgot to tell you, I am an excellent speaker, fantastic debater and I could literally sell ice to the Eskimos. If I want you to do something, those who know me know they will. Those who don’t know me also will, they just don’t know it yet.

You must think I’m cocky, I’m sincerely sorry. Back to me – Why is it hard? Those around me have these visions of grandeur, but I’m stuck in a financial rut in my early twenties with a company which can’t afford to pay me, and I can’t afford to leave. (Hey, if Pops loses his house, where do I go?)

So what can I do? I guess the same thing I’ve always done. Press through it because life has taught me that something’s gotta give – believe me, it ain’t just a Diane Keaton/Jack Nicholson movie.

Well that isn’t entirely true. After all, a year after our last dismal review we are still struggling and every time we begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel it just turns out to be some jackass on the wrong side of the road trying to finish us off…

The closs is ticking, time has expired. Its time to move on.

Hello world!
