Salutations (the fancy way of saying hello)

Hello

By coming to this site, you have taken your first steps to a larger world.

Okay, well, maybe not so much a larger world, as to one of a smaller me.

My name is Steve, I am 25 years old, and at 265 pounds, I am what one may call obese (although I prefer the more technical term: fatass).

I have struggled with my weight since I was little kid (when I found the Little Debbie stash) and continue to do so up until this day.  I have not always been fat, no, my experience has been more of a yo-yo.  I gain weight, I lose it, I gain it back, I lose it again.  I have gone from 170 pounds to my current (and highest) weight of 265.  It’s a vicious cycle, one that I feel is coming to an end…

…a) because I’m sick of the cycle and want to change for good, and b) because I am having a helluva time losing it now!

That is where you come in. I have stolen the idea recieved inspiration from alot of different bloggers out there, who are putting their experiences and themselves out there on the table.  They do this not only to tell their story and to maybe inspire one or two (or a million) people, but to also hold themselves accountable to their friends, family, and the entire world.

I hope to use this as a chronicle of my own ups and downs, to maybe give my own little bit of hope to those who are struggling with these same issues, and to have same accountability.  I have started, and given up on far too many things in my life.  Today is the day that changes, I hope this blog will become the beginnings of my new life.

So I hope you’ll keep reading, and enjoy the ride.  I promise to make things as interesting as I can, and I won’t let you down.

Let the games begin!
