Day 1 - Trying Not To Be A Fat F*@K

Hello World.   I'm a fat fuck.  I don't want to be one anymore.  Like most of the american population I've let myself go.  I have horrible will power and food is my getaway.  It's my go-to whenever I want to celebrate.  Whenever I want to cheer myself up.  Whenever I'm stressed.  I've tried hundreds of times over my life to change it up, to eat better and work out, but always fall back into my old habits.  I've used MyFitnessPal before and all kinds of other systems to keep me on track, but I wanted something different.  Something to remind me every time that I reach for that slice of delicious Casey's pizza - "Don't be a fat fuck!".  This blog is going to be my reminder.  It's my way of holding myself accountable.

So..  let's get the baseline out there.  As of yesterday morning I weighed 285.5 pounds.  That's close to my all time high. 

Pics or it didn't happen:

The moneyshots:

My strategy so far is..   eat less and make good choices.  I'm going to make changes slowly, it's not an overnight thing.  I'm not going to immediately stop drinking pop, it'll be a slow transition.  I'm going to try to be more conscious about my choices and remind myself "Don't Be A Fat Fuck!".  It's my new mantra.  I may try out different programs that seem legit as I go - like the 100 Pushup Challenge or the Gallon of Water A Day Challenge.  I'm willing to give most programs that are backed by actual science or common sense a try.  In the above two examples if I'm doing pushups that's exercise which is good.  If I'm drinking water instead of pop that's good.  I'm not going to try shit that's obviously whacko, like putting chakras in uncomfortable places or rubbing oils on my belly.

My meals for Day 1:

Breakfast - Oikos Rasberry Greek Yogurt with homemade granola

Lunch - Salad with loads of vegetables and a handful of grilled chicken

Snacks - Handful of pistachios, couple bites of fruit pie, some popcorn

Dinner - Two slices of sourdough toast with butter and a Mt. Dew Green Label

Exercise today:

Not much.  I walked around outside my office building for 15 minutes over lunch.  Better than nothing.

Not the healthiest day, but I'm in a routine of drinking nearly a two liter of Mt. Dew a day and eating whatever I want while sitting on my ass.  Baby steps, I'll get there.  

One day down.
