To begin the picture is not me. His body type is my goal. In 2007 I weighted 400 lbs. I had bariatric surgery approximately 3 years ago. My lowest weight reached was 285. I stopped exercising and start back my old eating habits. I reached 340 again. I've started exercising again and eating better. My current weight is 318 lb. I watch the Biggest Loser every season. I am determined to lose 100 lbs by July 01, 2011. I believe if the contestants on the show can do it. I can too.
After my surgery I realize I didn't have people in my corner. Actually it was quite the opposite. My girlfriend and my friends were very negative towards me saying I had changed since the weight loss. I have always been the “go to person” for everyone in my circle. I believe that they saw the weight loss as a sign of me pulling away. I fell back into my comfort zone because it was easy and I received less criticism from them. I don’t blame anyone, but myself for this situation that I’m in currently. What I would like are people to push me, drag me, and yell at me to get this done. I hate compliments. I don’t respond well to them. I have a goal of 198 lbs. I’m ready.
