| | Isn't it funny that a country as fat as the United States is obsessed with people who are dying to lose weight, trying to find that next big fad without having to work hard for it.
Well I'm for one sick of it.
Those of you who know or have followed my own journey into weight loss know that I have been successful. Even more successful than I could have ever imagined. You could say that I have become obsessed with losing weight, and you'd be right. But for people who ask me what's me secret, there is no secret. I eat more healthy and eat less, and cardio. The later of which I have done a lot. Good ole' hard work. During the summer I ran about 20+ miles a week, 4 miles a day.
To put my weight loss in perspective:
June 2008: 190 pounds
October 2008: 147 pounds.
Yeah, I've lost a lot of weight in a very short amount of time. And yes I know that's pretty unhealthy, but with results like that, who can blame me for continuing. And I do plan on continuing. Even though as my BMI stands right now, I'm healthy and at a normal weight for my height, which was my goal all along. But I think I can go a little more. Once I'm at 140 though, I'll stop. At which point I'll focus more on strength training and bulking up.
My weight in terms of how much I weigh, I don't care about. I could weigh 160 and as long as that was muscle, that's all that matters. Which is what I'm trying to do. It's just all that fat that's getting in the way. In other words, it's not how much I weigh, it's how I perceive myself every time I look in the mirror.
In that respect, I think I'm going to go anorexic very soon. Just kidding.
But for those who are concerned, and there's a lot of you, I'm going to be fine. My mom, after noticing it has really been against it, and wants me to gain some of it back. She thinks I'm too skinny now. Who would of thought? Me, too skinny? I love it! |
