This is my journey ...my journey in progress
There was a point in my life where I knew I needed to make a change. I was the heaviest I have ever been at 245! this is where my journey began
There were a couple of instances that really woke me up and I desperately had to make a change.
Many tried to encourage me to lose weight and workout.. I could not find the motivation to get back into working out , that's why I am a very big advocate on
"the right time, you will know when the time is right for you"
I was always fit, many even called me ...skinny, that was my nickname growing up .I was a tall and thin kid. Then I became a 200 lb man . I then by my choice increased to 220lb to me 200lb didn't seem like it was enough. I was very active playing basketball and football . It seemed to me like all the other players were starting to pick up size and I wanted to do the same to be competitive . I remember specifically playing the center position in basketball and playing against much bigger guys. So that was another reason for wanting to bulk up.
From 220-245 lb is where I drifted , I stopped playing sports and was not as active. Now going from 220-245 was really terrifinhg for me. My waist size increased, clothes were not fitting and going to any functions with family and friends was no longer fun for me.
I shyed away from going anywhere that would expose how I have changed ...family affairs, especially pools or beaches .
The food I was consuming was absolutely terrible! My diet consisted of fast foods, late night sugary cereal, drinking juices with every meal , not enough water add staying up late, not enough sleep and also throwing in a terrible habit I had ..GAMING
It consumed so much of my day many hours lost ,by gaming
Two things in particular
The first was going to family gatherings, special occasions and the summers at the beach. I was pretty much exposed. I was unable to hide under layers upon layers of clothes .. I was embarrassed of how I let myself go and didnt take care of myself.
So to avoid all of the embarrassment I started to make excuses , anything to avoid family gatherings and social functions. I was just not happy I was falling into a dark place and it really was affecting my well being. I was really starting to seclude myself which was really hurting relationships with family and friends.
There was this one day I went to the beach... and just witnessed a bunch of people who appeared not to be healthy . And I vowed from that day to change my lifestyle. I never wanted to be unfit / unhealthy ever again.
How did I do it?
What motivated me?
Who inspired me?
How do I stay motivated?
Well, that is coming soon! I will have a detailed outline of some of things that can help YOU climb out of whatever struggles you might be going through. Stay connected.
