I'll be studying proper technique online to start and see how that goes. <BR/><BR/>As for the kickboxing, I'll have to work towards it!

Doing heavy bag at high intensity can help reduce your heart rate and burn calories quite well. <BR/><BR/>I advise you to try and find a boxing instructor or at least study correct form and purchase some bag gloves or hand wraps. Also, it wouldn't be a bad idea to eventually bring in some kickboxing technique into your heavy bag training. If you think punching a bag with power is liberating, try delivering a powerful roundhouse kick to it. :-)Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16652020196490270266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786655039407487668.post-74107274549424985012008-06-15T08:35:00.000-07:002008-06-15T08:35:00.000-07:00My ED is exactly like Scott's.

It takes a while to get it under control but I'm improving every day. Knowing other men out there suffer the same way sure helps! I've started my own blog (http://fatmanstanding.blogspot.com/) and will be tracking my progress. I hope you don't mind if I link to your site!<BR/><BR/>On another note, what do you think of boxing as a weightloss aid? I'd like to get a heavy bag for punching because I think it will help with my stress issues and it certainly would work up a sweat.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again!Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10480406727564538488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786655039407487668.post-25662193943254593532008-06-15T07:51:00.000-07:002008-06-15T07:51:00.000-07:00Thanks for this....I have found in my lifetime tha...Thanks for this....I have found in my lifetime that the internal struggle with these topics is every bit as daunting, and tough to deal with, as the external choices to be made.

I am an emotional eater and a boredom eater. If I am stressed or upset, I will eat. If I am bored, I eat. My weakness is salty carbs: Potato chips are the bane of my health.<BR/><BR/>While I still struggle with will power, I think the fact that I recognize this aspect of my eating habit is a step in the right direction.<BR/><BR/>That voice is something I hear when I've tried to diet in the past. I would be successfully to a point and then get derailed. The voice would say "you screwed up now, might as well just stop trying."wydokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02971287090052697324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786655039407487668.post-38132712177027025432008-06-13T18:20:00.000-07:002008-06-13T18:20:00.000-07:00All I can say is keep on leading..You da Man..

I lost 40 of the 55 pounds I wanted to lose until a few months ago and have since gained back 15. This post hits the nail on the head as to the reason why. I didn't stop listening to that negative voice and in fact, I gave into it and used ephedrine to lose that 40 pounds with only light diet and exercise modifications. In other words I cheated. Because of it I did not achieve healthy lasting weight loss, and more importantly I became a high strung angry person who mistreated his friends. I'm learning to listen now to the quieter, wiser voice of reason so that I can someday have a rocking body (and a hot wife, congrats!) like Mr.Bodyfat.

Ordering a pizza/Chinese food/take-out, eating it all, and disposing of the evidence before anyone else got home. Going to get absurd amounts of ice cream and eating it in my car. And all the while feeling horrible about it. Knowing I was giving in. But controlling the urge to binge is easier now-a-days. I track my workout progress and body composition, always search out things to provide motivation (such as this blog!), etc.<BR/><BR/>But you're right, the "mental binges" are the worse. I consider myself a very positive person...but the voice in my head doesn't like to agree when it comes to my diet. Like you say...it's not going anywhere. It's all about fighting it and realizing you have the ability to fulfill your goals. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for posting your story. I always thought I was on my own with issues like this. To see someone who has dealt with their ED and been so successful with accomplishing their goals gives me more motivation than I have ever had before. I can only hope that my success story will be able to impact someone as much as yours has impacted me.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16652020196490270266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786655039407487668.post-79487418419792736152008-06-11T13:40:00.000-07:002008-06-11T13:40:00.000-07:00Thanks Tara ...Thanks Tara ...Muatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16209630079415529943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786655039407487668.post-80819864920452797992008-06-11T13:04:00.000-07:002008-06-11T13:04:00.000-07:00Great post!Great post!Taranehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16794625576362666493noreply@blogger.com
