As I sit here reading this blog I am reminded of a time when I would stick my cell phone in my bra because if I were to put it in my pants pocket I wouldnt be able to hear it when it rang let alone feel it when it would vibrate. It might sound funny but all it does is disgust me even now all these years later just thinking about how obese I was saddens my heart. Now I dont have that problem anymore becuase I did something about it. I love to read inspirational stories such as these they truely do keep me on the right path.

This was hilarious. Let me tell you crazy story. Years ago after I had my third child, I was on the weight lose tour with myself and I refused to by new clothes because I promised myself that I would take off the baby weight. I went out with my girlfriends for the first time since my baby was born, to a local bar and grill. As we sat down for dinner I could feel that my pants were cutting off my circulation around my waist. After dinner I headed to the lady’s room to wash my hands and fix my makeup and as i sat down to use the rest room the button on my pants flew across the restroom floor. I heard the ting, ting, ting sound of the button hitting the ground before it finally stopped in a stall three down from me. I was mortified and played that I didn’t hear it. As I was washing my hands a lady came to me with the button and offered it back to me with a smile on her face. Needless to say I threw those pants out the very next day, and sprang for some fat pants until I lost all the weight.

My husband has just come to me in the last few weeks complaining of his “love handles” which is what he likes to call the fat bulging sides that flop over his jeans. We have been married just alittle over two years now and to be quite honost we both have gained 10 to 15 at the least. I have been complaining about my stomach and my fat thighs for a while and even though I love the way he looks, the love handles are starting to get to him so we have made a pact to cut down on the food we eat and amp up our exercise routines. The problem is with this, is that he will definetely loose his weight quicker and probably more of it than i will loose mine. its just not fair.

Isnt it amazing that with just one little instance your whole world can be turned upside down? A girlfriend of mine just recently lost a bunch of weight. 65pounds to be exact. Her story is this. She works for the school district in the cafateria and outside during recess as a yard duty, and one day this little third grader approached her and explained that her mom had just had her baby brother and she wanted to know if my friend was having a girl or a boy. She was mortified, she had to tell the little girl that she wasnt pregnant and the little girl just ran off to play with her friends while my friend could have died right then amd there. after being depressed for abour 2 weeks she got up and did something about it, joined a local weight loss plan and has lost the weight she looks good and feels good and certainly doesnt have to worry about others thinking shes with child lol.

I just recently went to get a full phisycal at my doctors office. After visiting my doctor, he informed me that I am over weight (as if I didnt know) and he explained that I need to change my eating habits because I am at ricks of increasing my chances of becoming a diabetic, developing high blood pressure and possibly even heart disease. My doctor is basing these facts on my family history which puts me at and even bigger risk. My doctor wants me to lose weight and lower my Body Mass Index (BMI) so that it will decrease my chances of accruing any health issues that I could possibly occur. According to the NIH on the Identification, Evaluation, and Treatment of Overweight and Obesity in Adults, adults who have a BMI of 25 or more are considered at risk for premature death and disability as a consequence of overweight and obesity. My BMI is at 32. Now everytime I sit down to eat or even sit on the lazy boy to watch tv with my kids i have a voice in my head saying “get up fatty.” I think this is a good thing because now instead of watching tv and being lazy, I choose to get up and go for a walk instead.

This was too funny, I too had a big wake up call. I am 5′8 and I was 240 pounds. My daughter 6 years old at the time was begging me to go to the local amusement park. So we made a day out of it, Everything was going fine until we hoped on the tilt-a-whirl ride and the two seats were facing eachother. My daughter jumps on one side and strapps in without a hitch I waddle to the other side and beggin pullling and tugging with my belt as it seems to be to short to go all the way to the other side where it needs to be strapped. The ride coordinator comes to my seat and trys to help by pulling the belt, I was sooo embarrased. eventually the lady went and got me an extention for my belt. I could feel the people watching and I was embarrassed not only for me but for my daughter as well.
ever since then I have made several life changes. I hope that the examples Im setting for my daughter now and then will encourage her to always stay fit.

This blog is so great! It is so funny because me and my girlfriends were just have a conversation about how we all need to lose a couple of pounds, as we were sitting at the local starbucks eating the most fatening desserts and drinking our carmel fraps, lol.
I believe that it is true we are all enabelers for one another, and it seems as though we need to make it more of a competition between one-another in order to stay away from the not-so-true cxomplements we say, just to be nice.

I wanted to comment on this blog. I believe that fist impressions are key in any relationship, whether it be a relationship with your mailman or a relationship with you future husband. Taking care of yourself is a must especially in the world we live in with societys standards on what a person especially a woman should look like that goes for her outfit/shoes and accessories to the way she does her hair, and especially her weight. great insight here.

I am a member of many online wellness and fitness communities. Discussing health and wellness with individuals from all over the world keeps me motivated and most of all EDUCATED on adhering to a healthy lifestyle. I love your site. I have to agree that dieting, for me anyway can feel like i am running place and have made no progress, but I just keep in mind that hard work and perserverance will get me to my goal. I cant wait to read your book, Lose weight, think like a man, I’ve heard great things.

I love the line “Little improvements make little differences.”
I love your blog. My key to success was learning to replace an unhealthy addiction, It is true what you have written, I most definitely have trained my body to be fat, and I could see my 16 year old daughter following in my footsteps with our mindless eating while sitting in front of the television. When I started to change my unhealthy ways with healthy ways like getting up and going to the gym everyday I noticed that my daughter wanted to join me as well, we now workout everyday. We are two trees like in this post, not in an unhealthy competition way but just pushing ourselves to be the healthiest that we can.
