On this particular night, I can feel the extension of my body, the fat that has unfortunately crept up and around my system. It's been particularly bad in the last 6 months and I let my body go. In fact, I'll be brave and I'll show you exactly what I mean.
This doesn't exactly tell the whole story, though. Take a look for yourself at a side view, which is what I have to contend with every single morning.
You're probably asking yourself, "Why is this guy bothered by what he looks like here? Well, it's very simple: I don't like the fact I'm starting to get man-boobs. I also don't like that big thing hanging in front of me. It makes me look like I'm getting pregnant. And we all know that men can't do that (unless your name is Arnold Schwarzenegger).
Wanna see something worse? It's not just my belly. There is more that I want to get rid of. You have been warned:
The only way for me to actually take the steps to DO what I need to do is by laying out the naked truth: I'm getting fat, and I don't like it. Now, while I have not weighed myself in recent days, I am going to do so in the next day or so, so I can list my kg/lbs. here and keep an eye out on things.
What prompted me to start working on my weight? Two things:
- One, a colleague of mine from the university I went to did a similar thing back last year. In 10 months, she went from being larger to being more trim and thin.
- Two, the fact that a big guy over here has a lot harder of a time finding clothes really kinda weighs on a mind. I largely wear sweaters, and when the weather gets to be late springish/early summer-ish, I'll have to start wearing my dress shirts. I want to look thinner, and not fatter.
Over this next week, I'm going to update with you why I'm doing this, all the information you need to know regarding my health and other things. My actual weight loss routine will start next Friday, the day after I get paid. I will try to keep people updated with this blog, and I hope to have more pictures of my progress month after month.
One last thing: You'll notice I have not included pictures of my head. I should probably post full shots, just so that I can be held to an honest portrayal. But, I really don't think I should post it until after I start things. And yes, I'll post some crazy pictures so you know what I look like when I go out of my mind.
That's all for now...
