I'm doing 2 things
In my senior year in high school, I was a very active athlete and was in terrific shape. One of the most flattering moments of my life was when a attractive female teacher in her 20’s told me that I looked like Michelangelo’s statue of David.
Now I’m in my 40’s and I’ve let myself go; I weigh well over 300 pounds. My wife has said that she is not attracted to me anymore – and it shows in our (non-existent) lovelife.
I know that it may be unrealistic to go back to my high-school days, but I’m sick of how big I am and want to lose “at least” 100 pounds. However, I feel like I am addicted to food and cannot stop eating. Weight Watchers doesn’t work for me – I know how to count calories and points – I just can’t fight the compulsion to eat…
The good news is this past week, I have really, really tried hard to knuckle under and eat right and exercise. While I’m still not to the exercise part, I have started eating better and have totally stopped with the Diet Coke and coffee! I feel so much better already and this is helping to motivate me. I have tried a thousand times before, but could never make ONE DAY without eating like crap. Now that I’ve made ONE WEEK of healthy eating, I feel like I’m on the road to “recovery”.
I think I can do this.
