Yeah, that’s true – I weigh too much. I don’t feel like I do but that’s the plain truth as evi­denced by the scales. Effec­tive imme­di­ately, I’m more aware of what and when I’m gonna eat. I’d really like to blame it on the mas­sive amounts of junk food and beer I con­sumed over the last months but that’s not all. I was get­ting com­pla­cent and pre­ferred con­ve­nience. In other words: I’ve grown lazy.

To change all that – and to con­se­quently lose almost 30 pounds in the process – I have to do some­thing. More exer­cise and less junk food sounds like a good start to me. Then, there’s the issue of eat­ing just before get­ting to bed. That absolutely has to stop. Last but not least, I have to drink more water dur­ing the day. I’m really thank­ful for my dis­ci­pline and that’s exactly why I know that I will succeed.

There’s one thing that’s of con­cern to me: How the hell did I grow so mas­sive? I’m not fat. I don’t look like I weigh too much. Frankly, I didn’t care too much until yes­ter­day. Ana­lyz­ing the last few months left me pretty dumb­founded – I’m into junk food more than ever before. What a mess. Being busy has that effect on me, it seems. Any­way, I know what to do to get – and stay! – thin again.

Well, here we go. It’s day one and I weigh 203 lbs (that’s a hefty 92 kg) at a size of 6’1” (185 cm). I’m plan­ning on post­ing stats on every Mon­day to see how things are pro­gress­ing. Right now, I’m eat­ing a bunch of car­rots instead of choco­late or a muf­fin. I think, it’s … it’s already work­ing.
