I sucked it in like Mariah Carey at school today. I wore a snug shirt as a motivation to go to the gym. This is an old Dr. Phil trick based on the theory that discomfort is an incentive for change.
Most of us buy bigger clothes when we gain weight. We hang out with less athletic friends, pick up passive activities (that involve butter and booze), and do everything possible to be comfortable in our obesity.
With stores like Lane Bryant and Torrid it is possible for girls be fashionably fat, and it is far easier for guys to buy a bigger button-down and some Aldos to look presentable.
I’m tired of being merely presentable.
I have been in the mid-190-pounds range since last fall and I’m over it. I am through being the fashionable fat boy. I’m sick of being Jordin Sparks. It’s time to go Beyoncé:
Bam!
I’m leaving the 190′s in the next two weeks using two simple steps:
- Clean eating
- Daily exercise
That’s right. Operation Shrink a Gut: Season II just started. Where’s Brandon?
Weekly updates coming…
i want to do clean eating! let’s do it together.
Yes. My fridge is stocked. I’m so excited for this. Boyfriend is on board as well.
I started the same plan this morning!
Operation Shrink a Gut (OSAG! How clever!) Should be the spring blawg trend.
I’m right here Dennis!
So… The entry you linked to was posted awhile back.. and I’ve maintained the 60+ lb loss + or – 5 lbs since then. But now I’ve plateaued.
I’m down for a diet and a new workout plan. Hit me up.
Muhaha, I see a collab posting series coming!
If you can, try spinning classes – it’s really fantastic. Also the stair stepper is the best cardio machine at the gym. My ‘trainer’ (instrutor of classes at the Y who I befriended last summer) always gives me good tips for weight loss/toning up and those were two of them.
The cheesy dance-remixes featured in our spinning classes makes me nauseous, but I will rekindle my love of the stairclimber shortly.
