I am starting this thread with the hopes that it will keep me accountable on my weight loss journey. I am 40 years and 78 days old and not getting any younger. I am starting this weight loss venture at a bulk of 338#'s @ 6'2". I will get chest/arm/waist measurements later this evening. My plan is to check in everyday and make a promise to God/my family/the TBH brother hood/ and anyone else who cares or doesn't, that I will make the right food choices, that I will do something active, that I will keep on keeping on.
I used this same method back in 2013 when I decided to quit dipping. I joined a forum called "KillTheCan.com" where a bunch of "quitters" banded together and promised to support each other through the suck of quitting smokeless tobacco and I am here today to tell all of yall, it worked! I haven't touched a pinch of snuff in over 9 years.
The main difference this go around is I am doing this solo. I don't have a support group that's going through what I am going through. I don't have fellow members sharing in the "suck" of it but that is ok. I have a strong mental fortitude and willingness to not be the "fat" dad anymore. I want to ride the rollercoasters with my kids and not feel like I shouldn't. I want to hang a tree stand and not look at the weight limit. I want to buy a safety harness and not worry if will support my bulk. I want to be there for my grandbabbies in the WAAAYYYY distant future, lol!! So, if you have read this far, I hope that you will support me and help hold me accountable and hold my feet to the fire by blowing me up if I don't post by 1000 hrs every morning. I will hand out my personal cell to anyone supporters!!!! TBH is truly a special place and I hope to be in a much better place by the end of the year.
