Talking Goal: To be half of the man that I used to be

Hello there,

Its been ages since ive been on the scale and its about time i take care of myself and change my life and start to live again.

My username is jonah, because I let myself be swallowed of by depression, hate, anger, bitterness and using food for comfort.

Nonetheless, I am now exiting the mouth of the whale, and will be leaving all of this blubber behind me.

Hi Jonah,

It's always great to have another man join the 3 Fat Chicks site.

I hope you look around; it's easy to find a group that feels comfortable that you might like to join. You might also check out the Mens Corner.

Do you have an eating plan and exercise plan already?

I really like the analogy of Jonah and the whale... and I think it's a really positive way to look at things as you move forward...

I wish you all the best and good luck!

I do have an exercise plan - [some cardio exercise tapes],
but as for eating, I do not have much direction. Currently i have been tracking what i eat on a calorie counting website, and I am also making better decisions.

If you have some good eating tips for a heavy user, then feel free to pass them along


@SacredKestrel

- Thank you, i think it sums up the life i have been living up until now.
Caved away as much as possible, hidden from the world and so forth.


@Borgie

- Thanks for the encouragement. I have seen your journey (was on the forums for hours), and your story helped motivate me to get up and get going.
