I have been talking to a few friends at work about my workouts. During the conversation, the question of how much I weigh has come up. I was a little embarassed to say but I have come to terms with it. "I weigh 425 pounds." The looks on their faces is of complete disbelief. They cannot believe it. "You don't look like you weigh that much. I would have guessed 300 to 350." Oh man, if only! But I always counter them with, "but not for long."
I am working really hard at it. I have been working out for the past month. I have eaten at Subway more in these past weeks than I ever have before. I'm reading The Biggest Loser books on what to eat and how to prepare it. I'm reading labels at the grocery store and buying a lot of wheat, low fat, and low calorie products. They actually taste pretty good. I'm preparing my meals and snacks for work. I try to eat every couple of hours. It keeps me full and satisfied throughout the day. I drink plenty of water. I never feel hungry.
This is a huge change for me and I think I'm doing pretty damn good so far.
