OK folks, here goes.... as you know (if you read this blog) I lost a massive amount of weight then lost something, maybe I did plateau or maybe I lost drive and vision... either way, although the weight isn't piling on I am now struggling again, so its decision time... I have decided this, it is time to get back on The Diet Plate.
This week sees me starting to build up to training again, and I cant wait. I need the focus and drive and determination it gives me to centre myself. I have a fight in February for charity (15Th) and I need to be at a certain weight to compete. This weight is 4 stone 1 lb from where I am now... so its time to dig out The Diet Plate again, and start putting in the hard slogs at training to shift this weight, as quickly as possible really... although crashing weight isn't a good idea, the sooner I hit the weigh in mark the sooner I can concentrate on regaining muscle and energy levels.
So whats my weight? 22 stone 1 lb (139.8 kg) or 309lbs.
I am sad at being here, OK so its a long long way from where I started, but I have been lighter as well....
I will be back.....
Today is Thursday, its morning (approx 9am) and I am sat here in the office dieing for a cigarette.... has it only been 2/3 days? I feel better for not smoking, apart from the cough and sore throat which I am told will get better within a couple of months... The cravings are not too bad, but my temper has become shorter, much shorter..... so please bare with me if I rant, rave, threaten and generally act like an idiot....
So shoot me down... I am quite proud of my weight loss, it has been a long hard slog, self discipline, and self control have played huge parts, even self deprivation (OK a bit melodramatic, but that's how it feels). So can you imagine how I feel when I see someone of 70 stone losing half of it, because of surgery? Now don't get me wrong I am all for helping everyone, and for people becoming the best they can be. However for most people to get to that size they eat on average 16k+ calories a day, now to put that amount of calories into your body you have to train your body to take it, pretty much like an athlete trains to get fit, but in reverse. So as much as I feel sorry for them, I also feel they have to take some responsibility for there own actions..... Also someone has to 'enable' them to get to that size, normally a close personal friend/partner or family member. Why is this? Its simple, once a person gets too big to move and is bed ridden, then someone has to a)look after them and clean them and b) bring them food!!! So who is at fault? well its two fold, firstly it is the person for getting that big (yes I know genetics, environment, depression, money etc play a part) and they have to accept some responsibility. Secondly, it is the fault of the enabler, because as soon as they are bed ridden if you only bought them tuna or fresh food or no food, they would have to a) move to get it, meaning they would burn up calories, or b) go hungry meaning they would lose weight. Yes I know this sounds severe but its a fact. Yes it may sound like torture, but then what diet isn't?
Anyhow, that's enough ranting for now.... its now 9:30 and i have to go training at Evade. See you all laters....
Stay Safe
