Week One

So after I decided to start living like I was dying and make the most out of my life, and lose weight, I started to count calories I gave my self 3,000 calories a day. Now I no what you are thinking 3,000 calories that is alot.... you are only suppose to have 2,100 a day. But as I learned the key to success is to set small goals for your self that are easily for you to reach, that way once you do reach them it becomes motivation for you to keep wanting to reach more goals. So I woke up that morning and went to work as usual. Once I got to work I began to make me breakfast as normal got me two hamburgers about 6 slices of bacon and about 10 slices of pepper jack cheese and made my "normal" sized patty melt, right once I started to put that burger up to my mouth it hit me I CAN'T EAT THIS..... TODAY STARTS MY DIET. So I did not eat the patty melt instead I had scrambled eggs (Still not super healthy, but remember small steps) so that whole day I counted the calories on EVERYTHING I ate. I even noticed that with out thinking about it I was eating.... just out of habit. Until I started to watch what I was eating I never realized how much I really ate. So I went that whole day trying to think about what I ate and how many calories I consumed aday, and that is when I noticed I drank WAY to much pop, and that day was the last time I had a pop, Now I am not saying that in order for you to lose weight you are going to have to stop drinking pop because that is not true. So as the week went on to my surprise it did not eat easier as everyone says it got harder way harder. From more people finding out and telling my that one can't live off "rabbit food" to everyone wanting to go hang out and order pizza, oh and lets not for get the wonderful all you can eat pancakes at huddle house, it almost became HELL trying to count those calories, and remember I was still eating 3,000 aday. 900 more than one is suppose to.

The Start

Once people learn that I have loss weight the first question they ask is WHY? Most of the time I will answer with well I love watching the biggest loser and some of the people on the show started off weighing less than I did. Yes that answer does hold some truth it is only 5% of the reason. The time I finally said that I was going to lose weight I was walking on a hot day around an outside track with a friend and the song live like your dying came on, and I said you know this song it has a meaning.... We have got to live like we are dying we have got to make the most out of our lifes. It was that moment I said I am going to lose weight I want to lose 100 pounds by the time school starts back in August. That was when I started to live like I am dying
