Time for a change

For years I have made all the old excuses about my weight, I've never admitted that I was just plain getting FAT. I have always done just enough exercise to maintain what I considered was an ok weight. But now that simple fact is hitting home, I stepped on the scale and not only am I 20lbs heavier than I was before I lost my job but now I have crossed a point I swore I never would. For the first time in my life I am over 350lbs and now it is really getting to me.  I haven't hit the point of self loathing or self hate, but I am over aware of the fact that I am fat. Not just slightly overweight, but grossly overweight.

In the past I have done little to lose weight, maybe a little exercise, half hearted dieting but never really anything serious because I was too lazy to do anything about my appearance. Now I finally want to make a change, I am tired of being the party pooper who sits on his ass playing video games because he is too fat to get up and have fun.

This blog is going to act as my witness in my attempt to try the P90X workout program and see if I can change myself.  I am going to try and make daily progress reports, to try and keep myself honest and actually working out and eating right.. Tomorrow morning will start Day 1, starting weight 348.6lbs.
