In my last post I was, er, belly achin’ about being so fat. It’s true. I’m a porker who is a string bean wannabe. And I know why I’m one heavy dude. I love the sweet stuff. Yeah. I love the starchy stuff, too. Bread, potatoes, rice.
It has been said, more than once, that a diet that is sure fire to work is to eliminate all the white stuff from your diet.
Sugar…Flour…Dairy
In other words, all the stuff you like and have grown accustomed to is out, out, out.
Which brings me to a recent post I read on an interesting and downright amusing blog called How To Get A Grip. The post: Start With Dessert. The idea is that since you never know when you’ll kick the bucket, you might as well do the fun stuff now…and early.
Of course, I’ve been doing that with food for awhile. Cake, ice cream, cookies. You name it. I stuck it in my mouth. The fun has now caught up with me and I’m so fat I can barely get on a plane or visit a movie theater and let’s forget the booths in restaurant. Ironic, huh? I’ve gotten so big I need a table or take out.
I get the point about not putting off life’s little pleasures while you doggedly try to become “a success” but the idea of doing all the fun stuff becuase I’ll be dead any minute doesn’t get it, either. Do enough of the fun stuff and you may be living and miserable.
It might be better to spread it out. Maybe.
Any thoughts?

Well sir, I’m not quite that large as you describe, but I know the pain of this all too well.
I need to drop about 20, ideally maybe 25. I have the same attitude as you and never want to start any diet.
I view eating as one of the last true pleasures we all still have and to starve myself …well…I can never make myself do it for all three meals per day.
Here’s a site I read that may help, inspire, or whatever.

Thanks for the site recommendation, Rob. Yeah, I let the weight get away from me. It’s kind of sad. But, yeah, I’m very overweight.

This guy is pretty inspirational/motivating for sure.
And he does not starve himself or edit what he eats. Straight calorie counting.
Works for him. I can’t seem to get past day ONE when I try it.
LOL
In fact, I’m heading out to lunch right now.
