So where do i begin….

I want my own divine inspiration. Maybe it is all me. Maybe I just need to work it up. Raise my standards like Tony says.

Seems so hard. Is life supposed to be hard?

I find myself with more and more questions on the sense of what makes sense.

I am nervous because a lot of the christian paradigms are starting to not make since to me anymore. I love God. I want what is right and good. I want a higher purposes. But I am just trying to wade through all the noise that is thrown around and just find some truth. That seems the hardest thing to place sometimes.

Be who you are.

I have responsibilities…. There is a type of guy in my head I want to be. And I feel my apathy getting the better of me. I feel addicted to this apathy. This sluggishness is in my marrow. How do you fight something in your marrow? Condition yourself for easiest effort.

When did it change? When did it change from living life with some Continue reading

I was looking through my site analytics recently and I discovered a guy who found my page by typing in to google “I’m a guy and am tempted to cut my fat off.”

I got a chuckle out of it as I think every true fatty has thought this at one time or another. I know I have. We would never do it of course but this illustrates the frustration we have with our weight. This angst of desperation building up inside, wanting more out of life.

DON"T CUT YOUR FAT OFF. Healthy Tip for the day from FMC.

Sometimes too much fuel is to much fuel. So have some leftovers!

One amazing thing I have rediscovered is leftovers! Holy Crap why have I not been doing leftovers in the past?! There is something about taking control over your food on your plate and saying “no” to some of it. You get to practice saying no for your well being’s sake….and the best part is you are saying no for “now” and enjoying it later which you will then be thankful for. Who knew that the simple act of actively choosing to set aside some of your meal for leftovers would be a helpful weight loss tool.

You know I may be a fatty that commonly Continue reading

What we don't see sometimes is what makes us.

One of the items I had to do in the application process for the weight loss reality tv show was to answer some questions. Who knew questions could be so challenging and hard to answer when your trying to be open, honest and real about your struggle. I found that answering these question really helped open my eyes in a bit to my own questions I like to avoid in my head. This process helped me take responsibility for my life by offering clarity…..with out some wise sooth sayer either….. just me talking to myself. So I wanted to share some questions that they gave me to you for you to answer if you so decide. When answering these questions don’t hold back…. you don’t ever have to show anybody your answers…..this is for you. Oh and there is one caveat……. you have to answer all the questions in third person. (Example: John grew up in the Bronx and is full blooded Italian. He’s the youngest of three boys…”)

Why am I fat anyway?

Honestly. I didn’t think I was THAT bad with my diet and exercise habits. I thought I was just cursed with a slower metabolism than most skinny people. I mean have you seen some of these skinny people eat? They eat just as bad as me. They barely work out and hardly gain weight! I was convinced that I was just as normal as everyone else and was taxed with working harder to have what most people have by default. It pissed me off sometimes when I would think about it.

I thought it was the cosmos working against me. I thought it was my plight in the world that I have to work through. I thought it was…… I thought. I thought. I thought. Excuse. Excuse. Excuse.

The rationalization of a fatty.

The truth is Continue reading
