Me: Hey mom does it look like I've lost weight?
Mom: Not from the last time you asked me about 3 days ago
Me: I need to do something quick, the winter is coming and none of my jeans fit me.
Mom: Well I told you to stop eating at night, you don't eat during the day but then you wanna make up for it at night
Me: Yes mom, you're right
Later that day I went to the bodega (corner store) and here comes pedro the Old man the whole neighborhood knows and he screams out in his raspy, obnoxious, hickish tone, "Oye Muchacho tu estas GORDISIMO te puedes morir." (Listen guy you are REALLY FAT, you can die.) So here I am faced with this old man, trying not to say anything disrespectful, or make a face. Then I just replied "Si, yo se." (Yes I know). But what I really wanted to say was"Si yo se pero que CARAJO te importa a ti, si tu a mi no me compras la comida. Y tu estas viejo y feo, yo por lo menos puedo rebajar, tu te vas a poner mas viejo, y mas feo todavia."(Yea I know but what the fuck do you care if you don't buy my food, And your old and ugly, at least I can lose weight, you're going to continue getting older and even uglier.) But my mother raised me better than that. And almost everytime I see someone who hasn't seen me in about 6 months to a year, they ask me the same question or make the same comment, "Did you gain weight?" or "You gained weight." So I thought about it, I've been successful at losing weight other times, but why wasn't I able to keep it up, and I started to think. I like people to know my progress or see how good I'm doing maintaining my weight, it motivates me. But apparently when I started to lose the weight no one really cared anymore. As soon as I started gaining it they began to notice and talk about it. So I've decided that I want to lose 150lbs so that I can be at 200lbs again, but this time imma put it out there and whoever wants to read and support me is more than welcomed to. I am giving myself exactly a year so September 20th 2011, I will have hopefully lost the weight and I would love to share that success with as many people as I can. If you have any weightloss tips or just any tips on how to reach my goal let me know. And as for you guys follow me on this journey it won't be easy and I will appreciate all the help I can get. Starting weight 352lbs.
Stay strong bro...we all struggle with weight. Its a change of lifestyle which is yet to change in one because either we are not strong enough or like in many other ventures we need support. Try some cardio daily which is my next venture. Keep posting I definitely need your motivation.
