With the exception of two short periods in my life, one when I was a small child and then again in my early teens, I have been “fat”. It was something I just kind of got use to. I was “fat”, so what, it was who I was and I had no desire to change. In my early 20’s I stayed around 225. Then in my early 30s it was 250 and up and up and up it went until I found myself 37 years old and weighing in at 315lbs. Even then I still really didn’t care about my weight, like I said; I have been this way the majority of my life. The problem was I was really suffering in the health department, which had turned into a real problem for my family. I have three small children and found that the only thing I did was eat, sleep, and yell at them when they got in the way of the TV. This along with continual bouts of depression proved not to be a very pleasant way to live life, and definitely not how I wanted my kids to remember their father. My wife, of 17 years, also struggles with her weight. She has fluctuated from as low as 135 to her current weight of 240. She is still the most beautiful woman in the world to me, but at 5’2”, she is not the picture of health and has spent much of her time in the same manner as I have. So we both decided we were sick and tired of being unhappy and feeling bad all of the time. We decided to start on the long hard road to a healthier us. This is a blog to detail our journey. In it we will discuss the struggles and defeats we face, along with sharing our victories and tricks we employ to win “the battle of the bulge”. We invite you to join us by sharing your story,” Your Weight Loss Struggle”. Lets help each other be better, let’s help each other finally win at weight loss.
