Self Truths
This is intended for people like me who want to take on the responsibility of changing how they look without the heavy fees that come with getting a personal trainer, gym membership or even a weight loss procedure. Trust me I have tried many methods and many unorthodox. The biggest breaker in my juvenile mindset was that I am no longer a teenager who could whip myself into shape at any time, reason being my body and habits are no longer that way. I would let myself get so depressed about my self gaining the extra, extra weight that it started to feel like that I was relishing in the misery I was bringing upon myself. Its now at the age of 27 were to be honest my life is starting look a lot more bleak to me that I am making myself take a long and hard look at myself.
Let me talk a bit about myself first so I can reminisce and as well see the difference for where I'm at the moment in life.
So Like I mentioned earlier I'm currently 27, turned in December, been fat for 5 years now. I can finally admit it. When I was a teenager and in my early twenties, I gotta say life was pretty good. I took it a day at a time, I made many mistakes but hell who didn't I'm only human right! I was really popular (I know I'm gonna sound like a conceited ass, but this is my take on my life...so too bad) I had alot of guys trying to date me and I really enjoyed the attention. I had so many friends that it was hard to keep count. I loved to go party and have a good time. I thought of how much fun socially my life was. It was always about the next fun thing to do. Looking back I realized now that any goals and ambitions I had went right out the door once I started this party lifestyle. When I hit my twenties I started to feel that I had seriously fucked up in my youth and that I couldn't focus on what I wanted to do in my life, I know I felt like I had given many times over and what would be the point...lets fast track to today. I managed to have a successful career in Banking up until the summer of 2008, went back to school to get my degree and had this amazing plan to start building my future. What changed, well lets see I go on a vacation which turned out to be a nightmare, spent most of my time at the resort being miserable about everything which in turn enabled me to eat without consequences. I come back and the next thing I know I'm finding a hard time getting a job and oh yeah my expenses went out of control and the next thing I know is that I'm drowning in debt, working a job that has little to no value in my life and the pay really sucks and I'm making probably half of what I was making before and I'm eating a lot. Did I mention that I also had a weight loss procedure done in March of '08 and me being me of course the biggest and hapless loser to grace this earth turned out to be the anomaly that the procedure didn't really work well on. But what I gained from it is that I can't eat food without a jug of water to help me swallow it all down, if not I start choking and feel as though I'm going to black out if I can't get the food that is stuck in my throat to go down. Yep, see I have a really freaking wonderful life.
So Why am I sitting here writing all this out, its simple..... I WANT TO CHANGE, I CAN CHANGE, I NEED TO CHANGE. I don't want to be a bitter, miserable person anymore, I don't want to known as a self indulgent bully in my family. I want to be me, I want to bring out the best of me, i want to be a happier and healthier me! I guess I can say this is my Obama Campaign, except i'm fighiting to win my life back!
