Like a convicted Felon....sorta. Prison of FAT
Every day I make a choice. To eat like i used to eat and end up eating like a 300+ pound man and end up back there or to eat like a thin guy and finally get there. I'm at 235 pounds with 27% fat. I'm up 1.5 pounds but that's partially normal fluctuations since weekly and monthly count, but I'm also down a 1% in fat.
The most important thing is to eat right most days most meals. 90% perfect eating is my goal. Working out 4x most weeks is also part of it. I'm about to start my workout. I took a few days off because of the crazy Memorial day weekend. And that's ok. I'm 44 years old and my body needs more time to recover then a 22 year olds :).
Staying free from destructive eating is a day by day ordeal. I will always have to "watch" and reinforce my better habits. It's not just good and bad or as Fat2Fit radio hosts say "good better best" it's food choices and exersice of "poor, fair, good, better and best."
Veggies are always BEST.
Lean meats are always Better.
Pop Tarts are always Poor...
This eating and weight loss is 90% in the mind. I choose to eat healthy today. Yesterday I went with the wife to Red Lobster. I had fish and chips with 2 pieces of cheddar bread and an ice water.
Fries where poor (but good) fried fish in batter was fair and cheddar bread was poor.
But that was one (large very large) meal. I planned on this meal over that 24 hour period.
It's eating over a 24 hour period and week by week that makes this a reality. I can never eat like a 333 pound man for long or my weight will go up. I choose to eat like a 199 pound man that works out and I will become 199. I will try by October, but I will be less then I am now and really the time doesn't matter. It's the life style.
