Congrats on the weight loss and please come back and let us know how your family's reacted to your weight loss. Oh, and don't worry about eating some of that good southwestern BBQ! Just understand that you can't ever eat the same amount of it that you did when you were larger. Don't deny yourself but don't gorge either. You'll be fine!Muatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16209630079415529943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786655039407487668.post-86461660620709070692008-06-20T14:38:00.000-07:002008-06-20T14:38:00.000-07:00MK, It is very funny that you bring up the seatbe...MK,<BR/> It is very funny that you bring up the seatbelt thing. Let me tell you why...I live in southeastern New Mexico , where BBQ is the staple of life. In 2007, I acquired a job with a company that was based in Holland. Well, in the beginning, I was told that my 2008 would be spent working in Holland. So in October of '07 my company decided to fly us to Holland to check out what our surroundings would be like. When I got on the plane in Houston (I weighed 334lbs), I noticed that I was having considerable difficulties latching the seatbelt. But I sucked it up because I too didn't want to have to ask for an extension. After this little incident, I remebered something that happened a few months prior to that that really hit my heart. My 5 year old daughter brought home a picture that she had drawn of her family, home from school one day. As you can guess, she drew daddy as a fat man. She didn't know, but the simplicity of a childs mind can put things in perspective very quick. So, with these two factors, I decided to change my life right then.<BR/> When I got home, I spent a butt load of money on supplements, workout equipment, and gym memberships. The weight started coming off slowly. It wasn't until I did some heavy research on diet and exercise that I started seeing the most effective results. I do have to admit that being over here since January has made it alot easier. My wife and mother in law are southern girls that were born to cook. So, being by myself and away from that talent has enabled me to reprogram my way of eating into a healthy experience. It has also allowed me to develop an exercise program without interruption. Don't get me wrong, I miss my family tremendously, but it has made it alot easier than the average person trying to start this in their everyday environment. I have been able to fly back and visit once for 3 weeks, and I am going home again next week for two. I too have anxiety build up knowing I am now leaving my "healthy zone" for the southern trend. The unhealthy cooking is nobody's fault, that's just the way it has been for centuries in the south. I have conqured this as well by doing the same as you. I develop a diet and exercise plan and stick with it, along with a bottle of chitosan too! Last time I went home, I lost 5lbs! I would like to report, that as of today, I weigh 248lbs. I feel great. My family will not recognize me from my transformation! I am very excited, equally excited to keep on going too. I am 6'2" and am targeting 190-200lbs.<BR/> I would also like to comment on one more thing that you blogged about earlier...using your body for resistance training. There has been nothing said more clearer than this..if you cannot do 20 push-ups, you have no reason being in Gold's Gym. If you are just starting a regimen, all you need is a push-up board and a little time in the mornings and evenings, along with a healthy diet. You will start seeing the weight drop in buckets!<BR/> I want to thank you Muata for your inspiration to this world on this life threatening disease. If it had not been for me cruising the web and looking at CNN.com to see what was hapeening in the US, I would have not come across your helpful insight. Thanks again and keep on blogging. I love it!<BR/>Sincerely,<BR/>Willielowphatcustomzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10012208311704305416noreply@blogger.com
