I am 43 years old, am 6'4" and currently weigh 426 pounds. And I am afraid that if I don't change my lifestyle habits, my weight is going to kill me. So this is the start of my weight loss journey. I will be updating this journey as I go, being honest about successes and failures on my part. I am not expecting any miracles. I am going to just take it one day at a time and see what happens.
I've been a big man for most of my life. It started as a teenager and then over the years my weight has fluctuated up and down. As I've reached middle age, I now have developed several health related illnesses and I know that my body is trying to tell me, make changes or it's game over. And I'm not quite ready to throw in the towel just yet. I still have a lot of living that I want to do.
This process is going to be hard for me. I accept that before I even begin. It's embarrassing. But I have done this to myself and therefore no one can change it but me. So I will do what it takes to make those changes and we will see what happens.
If you haven't watched the documentary, Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead, I highly encourage you to do so. It was an eye opener for me. At this point I won't be doing the juicing that those guys did, but I will try to incorporate some of that into my plans.
Whether you are a man, woman, boy or girl you owe it to yourself to be healthy. So in 2012, let's all try to make some positive changes in our health and well being. If you don't then you only have yourself to blame.
