*Cough* Well, now that the inappropriate ice-breaking is out of the way-- Moving on!I'm the type of fatty that's been fat almost my entire life (or at least since I was 8). Now, some of you may notice I entitled this thread "Fat Forever", but please, don't be disillusioned by the fancy phrase! I do not intend to spend my life "Fat Forever", I've just been "Fat Forever" up until today-- this very monumental turning point in my life. So, what makes today so special you ask? Well, nothing much I suppose, considering I've tried & failed before.. I'd just like to consider it special because today I'm actually looking to other people, seeking support, guidance, & understanding; Today is a special day because this is my first real step towards a happier, healthier me. I'm physically & emotionally reaching out, & making a commitment (to myself, my sister (Migotokokoro), & my GF (Lycan)). What makes every day starting from now a phenomenal one, is that I'm going to try harder than I've ever tried, & more than that, I'm going to succeed.
So I've tried & failed before, who hasn't? If you could look at all the lives that have been lived since the conception of life, I bet you would not find a one that had not, at one point or another, watched success slip away. Failure is a part of life; the success comes in perseverance, in a person's will to take those failures as they come, & keep on going. The only true failure in life is giving up on a dream; If you quite trying, then you've failed.. But to continue despite all obstacles & challenges, that is the road to inevitable success. Alright, this introduction isn't turning out as great as the first.. I find that trying to rewrite something that was already perfect always ends up making it worse. However, due to an error on my part, I have no choice since my first message was deleted. Okay.. *sigh* Let's try to get this right.
Well, why don't I tell you a bit more about me so you can see what a rad person I am (not). I currently work at Blockbuster *High fives in a non-lame way* where I get free rentals, which is the best part of that job. I also own a website on the side that sells merchandise, which makes me way more money (& whose mention was the reason I got myself in trouble). So, I live with my GF.. in my mom's house.. Yeah, I'm just that cool. That fact is not only the bane of my existence, but the hardest part of this new "healthier lifestyle" roller coaster we're on. My GF Sam & I are pretty much fed up with all the preservatives & additives being put in our food, so we're going to try & start eating mostly organic. The problem therein lies with my mother.. My mom is a coupon lady. Anything that she buys she'll get for at least half off, if not free. So, what's wrong with that? Nothing, I love saving money.. just all the food she buys is junk, or filled with junk anyways. We're looking into investing in a rather good sized mini-fridge (already looked at a few, just waiting till after Christmas). I believe this might be the answer to our prayers. The dilemma with that idea is the incredibly small room we both share, that we somehow crammed two computers & computer desks into. To help save space, we're also investing in a nice sofa bed. Right, I'm getting distracted though. So, if anyone else out there eats Organic, or partially organic, & has any advice or suggestions for a person on a budget, I'd love the help!!
I haven't created a workout plan yet, & I'd love suggestions for that as well. I enjoy kickboxing & swimming (though the only pool I have is just big enough to stand in). Uhm.. I hate running! Jogging is okay, in moderation, & walking is my aerobic god. Ooh, but I've been breaking out in hives lately whenever I go outside *Cough* --chem trails-- *Cough* so I'd also appreciate if you guys have any aerobic alternatives in mind! I have a small amount of space to workout unless I want to kick some boxes around in the garage (which had just previously been cleaned out for exercise purposes! *mourns it's descent to that dastardly state again* ).
Well.. I think that's about it. I guess besides that, I just wanted to say Hi.. So, Hi!
