I have hit that wall. I have embraced the fat ass syndrome. For me, it was the office job combined with two liters of daily Mountain Dew. A workplace surrounded by Arby's, Wendy's, Burger King, McDonald's, Hot n' Now, Mr. Taco, Pizza Hut, KFC, and an all you can eat Chinese buffet. I'm not just a-shittin', either.
I resolved to do something about this in late June. A coworker was doing the Atkins diet. Some other friends of mine had tried this diet and had considerable success. In my thin days, I couldn't conceive of giving up pasta, soda, bread, ice cream. It just didn't seem worth it. But desperate times call for desperate measures.
I lasted a month. I then fell off the wagon for another month, got back on for a week and a half, fell off for another month, on and on.
But today, I have resolved that I will stick with it. I'm going to do it. Aside from all the soggy protein, it's really not that bad. Eat meat, get skinny. There is no simpler formula. And I've lost another six pounds. Granted, most of it was probably water weight, but I have lost a cummulative 23 pounds.
There's still quite a bit of weight to lose to stop the jiggle in my fat ass, but I feel more committed this time. I feel more positive. I'm even going to start going to the gym 3-4 times a week again.
Yes.
Yes I am.
