Here I go again...

  • So much to say yet I really don't know where to start...I guess I' m better off talking to you straight and simple..

    I' m FAT!...

    Unfortunately an OBESE person who has tried numerous diets, lost a lot of weight but gained more of it in time.

    I am at a point now where I cannot tie my laces because I just can' t bend over. I also have to wear the same clothes practically every day because those are the only ones that fit me...or "the ones I fit in" would be a better choice of words I guess.

    The answer to the question "Why don't you buy new stuff then?" is;

    I don't buy new clothes thinking about how big they will be for me when I lose weight..but you know what the sad part is?...Even those everyday clothes I were are beginning to size down on me.

    For the, I don't know how many'th time...I'm fed up of people saying I got fat..I know it...But it just seems I no longer have the courage to start a diet.

    I know nothing I wear suits me, I know I don't even suit the beauty of my wife. I feel like a shy child when around people and try to sit down with something on my lap that would cover my belly..maybe a pillow...

    I am 1,73m tall and 118,4 kg...So that's 5,6 feet with a whopping weight of 261 pounds!

    I'm 33 years old and HAVE to lose weight...I really want to..

    I quit smoking last year...Its been exactly a year now and I gained 20kg after it..I tried quitting and dieting at the same time but realized I was about to fail both...Therefore I chose not to smoke over dieting and gained weight.

    Now I'm confident I' ll never go back to smoking I believe I am ready for a good weight loss.

    I will be trying the Dukan Diet. The one diet that really fits my life style...The diet I tried during my quitting period..It worked then but I had to let it go as mentioned above..

    I' m really wanting to lose weight for sure but don' t feel motivated enough because I'm frightened to fail once again. I don' t want to lose 5kg and then gain 10kg back if you know what I mean. I will be reading the Dukan Diet book thoroughly and will do my best.

    For all who are in my shoes, I hope this blog will be a great source of motivation. I plan to lose 75-80 pounds...about 30-35 kg's within a year..but I don' t want to set high goals for myself..because I know from past experience that the higher the goals the harder the journey.

    Therefore my first realistic goal is lossing a kilo only...Then another one...And then one kilo more...I believe that taking baby steps will allow me to achieve what I realy want

    If you read this please..please motivate me..I believe I really need it...

    Here I go again...
