i've notice this forum here. is so, formal. iono i guess people just like explaining their feelings. im not totally like that as i just want to keep things simple. but im a sucker for a story.
anywho.
recently my dad asked me to run him some errands while he was gone on vacation. he owns and runs a nail salon. he asked me to clean up after the store everyday for the duration time he was gone. which is like 6 weeks. and man that place can get dirty.
but anyways.
the place has mirrors everywhere and they are really really big. one day i came in to clean up. i walked in with one of my favorite soft teeshirt and shorts and i've notice my stomach is extending out quite a bit. it is something you can call it a beer belly even though i do not drink beer (i don't drink it because i loath the taste).
anyways 6 years ago i was at my peak physical condition. i weighed 150lbs had a 5-7% body fat percentage @5'5. i had a 6pac, wings muscle under my arms. was able to run forever. man i was fit i was able to fit into a size 30' inch waist pants. i had just join the army and went though boot camp. so it was physically demanding. this was back in earlymid 2003.
but after i got out into the reserves i guess i got real lazy. every year i gained like 10 lbs i remember moving up to 160. and thinking nothing of it. then to 170 and i still nothing. then to 180 and i thought to myself that is how much i weighed before i join the military. i stayed there for a bit of time mostly. but roughly staying between 180-185.
roughly 1 year ago is when i got the biggest gain in weight i have ever done. which coincides with the greatest thing that happen with me.
in one year i gained 30 lbs. i just weighed myself and I'm sitting here at 210lbs stomach hanging out, im tired all the time. yea not the nicest. im hardly fitting into a 36 inch size waist and probably will need to move into a 38' inch waist size.
but this all started the day i met my girlfriend. around that time i was looking for a companion and the universe gave me her. she became what i needed in my life. she is everything i am not. she is my balance. but anyways there are things that i've changed in my life since i've been with her. and food intake is just that thing we both have been taking too much of. you can say we intake things that are both expensive and full of calories.
I've notice that regardless of my weight i am a happier then bliss. and i have much greater plans for my future in due time. what i don't have is a plan of losing this excess weight.
everybody says diet and exercise. but my question is...
if anyone, any lady or gent here. who can give me advice on how to keep my stubborn woman from eating out and dragging me along with her.
i think that's about it. any info?
