Motivation..

Hey Guys

Above is a picture of me before I started my weight loss it was two days before I went to my first work out in years. I like to call that picture the old me and it was the last time that I had drink beer and did what ever that night because I knew come Monday was a new start a new me I was always know as the funny guy or the always smiling  guy who has no care in the world. But lets be honest here I may have put on a act about me being happy and all that but really I was hurting in the inside there no way I could be happy as I weighed in at 362 or at times the scale said error.

There was a time when I would walk across the street and would be sucking for air I felt like I was really letting my self go and I m  25 years old and could not do small things that shouldn't  be that hard for me but they were. I use to make my self feel better by making fun of my weight I have been called every name in the book and more as well. But really there was some things I never understand with life and the way the body worked I didn’t really understand food I use to eat because it taste really good or because I was to lazy to cook my own food.  I was the person who would drink and eat to much junk food because I was bored or just because it was there.

People ask me how I started I did the small things first I give up on pop and that was not easy I use to drink two big bottles a day I would drink it first thing in the morning till I went to bed I always had money on me so I could buy pop as well. I would pick pop over water back than even when water is free. So I cut out pop with in a couple of months I could see a number on a scale so I was getting motivated to keep going I than would go for walks here and there. Than soon after I joined the gym and I have not looked back yet.

I had some people say I make losing weight easy to that I say I guess you didn't see me working out three days a week giving it 110 % but that ok. I had people tell me that I m doing things wrong at the gym and that not the case at all but to that I say come and show me how to do it than lets just say they never showed up. Some people say that I m not eating healthy or not enough food and to simply point it that is not true I got my OK from my doctor and I eat more now than I ever did I eat like 6 meals a day and I'm losing three pounds a week and I m happy with that. I guess what Im trying to say here is that people will always be there to put you down to better them self what you need to do is block them out and keep the people who care about you closer.

People tell me all the time I wish I had your motivation I say I don't always have the motivation to keep it up. But what keeps me motivated is my awesome friends who have been there since day one and still are here to catch me when I fall. And my family knows how much I want to better my self for the long run and for that I thank you guys I owe you the world and thank you for keeping me motivated.

Cheers
