I am Biggie Sized
Here are my vitals:
Sex: Male
Age: 30
Height: 5' 9" (but I can pass for 5’ 8”)
Pre “The Plan” Weight: 351 lbs.
What's my story? I’m fat. Ever since I was a kid I thought of myself as being a fat kid. Even though I actually wasn’t. I did not become a big guy until my junior year of college and through the years I have become even bigger and bigger to the point of becoming Biggie Sized. Heck at this point I can be considered a Great Biggie (For you Wendy’s lovers).
I have tried the Atkins, Slim Fast, Diet pills, drank a citrus drink to help increase my metabolism, etc. You name it I have tried it. Yeah I have lost weight in the past. I lost like 60+ lbs on Atkins. I even did a fat guy weight lost contest for a magazine and lost 35lbs in 6 weeks (came in second). However after all the weight loss, I always found ways to pack on the lbs again!
I think the reason I have failed and been on the diet roller coaster is because I think of it as a DIET and I DIE every time I am in a DIET. I hate scales and of course dressing up to me is a t-shirt, khaki shorts and crocs.
I made a choice to not follow a diet, but more: The Plan. I plan on not restricting myself, but at the same time become more conscious of what I am eating.
I started Weight Watchers on a Saturday, January 27th and the day I went in and I read the little book they give you at the meetings: 351lbs. I thought it was a typo and thought to myself: “There is no way I weigh this much. I am fucking GINORMOUS!” I thought I was going to start to cry when the meeting started. I told myself that day that I did not gain all this weight in one day and I was going to lose it.
My wife and I do the Weight Watcher meetings every Saturday morning and have been doing it since January 27, 2007. As of March 10th I am down from 351 to 334 (17lb loss). Its a start.
I have decided to join Mr. McButterpant’s journey and maybe help a few others along the way, if not at least entertain you on our way to thinsanity.
