| Reason for participating |
Always been the overweight kid and i need to do something drastically different in my life. I can no longer settle for the norm of what i have put forth in the area of health and fitness. My life depends on this! |
| Goals |
I want to obviously loose weight but more importantly i want to change my life and live with a conscience mind of what i put into my body and how i treat myself. I would like to build muscle but loose the fat.. |
| Activity level |
Inconsistant exercise at the gym and thats about it. |
| Meal planning |
I would eat when i was or wasn't hungry and what ever i had in my fridge or cupboard is what i ate. There was no forethought of what i needed to put in my body to nourish my body. |
Well like i said i was always the overweight kid and guy my whole life. Fitness or health was never an importance in my family. With myself and 3 step-siblings and only my father bringing in a paycheck while my step mom was going through school we bought what food we could afford and not based on health. Food for a long time has been a comfort zone for me and i would rely on it to change the way i would feel. At 13 i started to use drugs. For 7 years i struggled with a drug addiction but a 20, homeless in Sacramento and no one in my family willing to participate in my life i decided enough was enough and got clean. I have been clean ever since but still i continued to eat in an unhealthy manor. With sporadic ideas to change how i was living i would go for what i like to call the NASA burn where like the space shuttles in space who burn their rockets for a few minutes then coast for hours. That was what exercise and healthy eating/living was like for me. I have been married for 3 years with my beautiful wife who gave birth to my two beautiful boys when she gained weight during her pregnancy unfortunately so did I. Having lost my job about a year ago i delved deeper into food to comfort me and have since gotten to 312lbs.
My wife has worked for the last 2 years to loose the weight but I could not muster the strength or courage to join her in this life changing endeavor. So with a family history of heart disease and diabetes I came to a realization that I am am embracing a self imposed death sentence and not only moving to that eventual future i was sprinting towards it. I watched my oldest son help my father who was visiting count out his pills and watch as he gave himself his insulin shots and he thought it was cool. This shook med to the core as while i have strived to break some of the chains of behaviors in my family i was blatantly ignoring others. I need to change everything about how i live in regards to fitness and health physically, mentally and spiritually. If i don't I wont be around to see my sons graduation. I need i to incorporate a daily regimen and discipline so that i am not the father who says do what i say but not what i do. Actions speak louder than words and i plan on yelling out to the world "This isn't for anybody, just my Body"! |
