Thank you to Michelle and Michele, of Diet to Go, who gave me the nudge to share my story with others.
I consider September to be the start of my Re-Dedication to making my weightloss a priority in my life. To make sure that I make the choices that will lead to my success.
Why now. Why do I need to lose weight:
I don't want my size to dictate what I can and can't do anymore.
- I want to go into a restaurant (theater, a friend's home, a business meeting...) and not worry whether or not I can fit into a chair. Or worry about breaking a chair.
- I want to walk up stairs without my knee hurting.
- I want the ability to walk into any men's store and buy clothes.
- I want to walk down a street without the stares of strangers or the little kid who yells out "You're Fat"
- I want to fly in a airplane without a seat belt extender and the look of terror in the eyes of the person that I sit next to.
- I want to live many healthy years with my girlfriend, who may one day, become my Wife.
- I want to be healthy enough to still have the possibility of having kids or adopting.
This has been a good week. I met with Mark, the owner of Evolution Health and Fitness, for an initial meeting. The gym is close to my job, so I will be able to exericise after work. I will begin my exercise program in a week. I have taken off work this week. I went to a restaurant yesterday and made the healthy choice of grilled salmon and vegetables.
I weighed myself on Friday and I have lost 5 lbs. Current weight loss 26 lbs (467).
