The all elusive diet. A very challenging feat; well, depending who you are I suppose. It is really one of those challenges in life that is much easier said than done. The formula is simple really. Exert more than you take in. Cut down the amount of carbs and calories. EXERCISE. No big deal. However, the X-factor here is the role of will power. Some have it, Some don't. Some don't have enough of it. Some really don't care. I look deeper into this role of will power and see it almost as a reflection of one's own character. A reflection of your personal discipline and drive. People with strong will power probably see the this idea of a diet as simple. DON'T EAT BAD THINGS. easy. Stay away from bad. Lean more towards the good. It's really as simple as that. I on the other hand have a weaker will power. A reflection of my weakness? There came a point where I thought I had it pretty good, but in recent months I've let it go out of hand. Old habits die hard is the popular saying. It almost feels like this whole diet thing was much easier the first time around. January 2006 - 200lbs. January 2007- 168 lbs. Now - well I've been afraid to look quite frankly. Almost in shame of wasting what I've worked for. And so I have gone a long way since Jan 06' but I've had this goal of 150lbs for a long time because apparently that's the weight I've gotta be at for a person of my height. Summer 2007. I'm gonna try to make it happen.
Call it vain. Call it a useless obsession with weight. Weight has always been an issue with me. Most of my life I've mostly been complaining and not actually helping myself. To those close to me, it's probably all they hear; my constant complaints about weight. For that I apologize, seriously. It must get annoying. For something that has plagued me most of my life, something has got to change. I really have to get this monkey off my back so to speak. I've come to the conclusion that it's been my weight that represents the negative in my life. If I truly want to have a new beginning to my life, this is the way I've gotta do it. A lifestyle change.
Or maybe I'm looking too much into this. Maybe I should just keep it simple. Maybe this is the summer that it all happens...cuz I don't have much choice.
