after climbing off the wagon and laying under the wheels to be run over…
I am back on ‘the program’ as of, now.
The first week will consist of the following.
30 minutes of light cardio in the morning and evening.
2000 calorie/day liquid diet and multivitamin.
Lots of water, water, water and only 1 diet coke per day – MAX!
I took measurements and before pictures (please don’t look). My waist is back to what it was in 2002 pre-BFL. In fact my waist is only 5 inches smaller than a very beautiful woman’s nine month pregnant belly.
The “wife beater” I am wearing in the photos doesn’t completely cover my belly. Just 6 months ago, that same shirt was so long I thought about tucking it into my underwear. NOTE I ONLY thought about it, I DIDN’T do it. <- Dork!
The weird thing is, back then I felt more fat than I do now. I guess that is the big hurdle here. Number 1… Hello my name is Mike and I love food. Number 2 – I have a horrible self image when it comes to my body. Even worse is that I can really relate to Fat Bastard from the Austin Powers movies. I’m unhappy because I eat, I eat because I’m unhappy. Food has become my alcohol. I know that I can’t touch the strong drink, heck I can’t even have medication with alcohol in it, and I stay away from it. But food has always been I different story. It has always been one of my ‘talents’ or more so ‘my claim to fame’. That needs to change! And it begins now!
