Week One: Getting my shit together

Welcome to my life.  I’m 23 years old a student, and weigh 325 pounds. Being in University and overweight is not exactly ideal, especially considering how cheap the university is. I mean really, can they not splurge and give us well fed people an extra inch or two so the little table actually fits across our lap without my belly pushing my lap top off the table, sending the overpriced piece of crap crashing to the floor. I’ve found the whole university experience to be rather uncomfortable. I blame others for holding me back, but the truth is I’m the one holding me back.

So, let’s get real here

 I’m 23, insanely over weigh and I want to make a change. Yes, I’ve said this before and I’ve failed every single time. I have no one to blame for my weight but myself, I eat to heal the pain, I eat to cure boredom. Oh hell, sometimes I just eat to eat.  I’ve tried countless diets, and tried to find inspiration in things, I even watch shows like The Biggest Loser in hopes that their journeys will inspire me to take on my own demons (None of it which has worked by the way). So, what’s going to make it different this time? I really have no idea, I could fail, I could do well. All I know is that this time, I’m going to share my journey with the world, or at least the few of you who will end up subscribing to this blog anyways. I hope that I few of you are willing to come along on this ride with me, I need all the support I can get and at the same time, want to be a support for you guys out there struggling with your weight and your health to. I’m here for you, I know what it’s like and I know how it feel and it sucks!

Right now I am making a vow to myself, and I hope some of you take it with me...

I promise to stop slowly killing myself, and promise to start working towards a brighter and healthy future for myself. I promise that I will stop enabling myself, and allowing those around me to enable me. I will not give in to temptations. I will work hard, I will succeed. When the going gets tough, and if I should happen to stumble, I will pick myself up and not let it break me. I will do this, no matter how hard, or how long it takes. I will win this battle. I will stop having a relationship with food, and start having a relationship with my life!

Here we go....
