I've been (shall we say) pleasantly plump- all of my life. Certainly much bigger and more uncomfortable than most people. I finally said enough. Once I made the decision, I needed a way to drop the poundage. So I came up with a few options:
- I could spend 8 hours a day for 35 days straight in a steamy hot sauna.
- I could hire Richard Simmons to give me personal jazzercise classes every day.
- Or, I could just stick a needle in my stomach and shoot myself with women's hormones for the next 35 days.
Hmm. Easy choice- right. The first 2 options sounded crazy to me. Only the third option seemed logical. I thought, what the heck, I'm a real man right?
With the goal in mind and the mechanism to achieve the goal in place... I just had to start the process.
So on December 11, 2010, I literally took the plunge. I weighed in at a whopping 240 lbs on Day 1. Injecting myself was unnerving the first few times, though I got used to it. The 500 daily calories of specific veggies, lean protein and fruits were actually very satisfying. I don't recall one time that I was actually hungry. My energy level went through the roof. I felt more aware and alive than I had felt in years.
Drum roll please....So on Day 35- Jan 16, 2011, I weighed in at a lean 205 lbs. Best of all, I can bend over and tie my shoes.
