the old me

This is me, but not for long.

I’m Steve, I’m 25 years old, I am 5′10″, and I weigh 265 pounds.

I am a guy who orders a large meal at McDonalds, and a few things off of the dollar menu to boot.
I am a guy who can eat an entire pizza in one sitting, and still want more later…
…same with a bucket of fried chicken.
I am a guy who can eat and entire greasy appetizer at a restaurant, along with the full meal, and a dessert.
I am a guy who would rather watch TV or play on the computer then go the gym.
I am a guy who gives up on physical activity too easily, because sitting is SOOO much easier.

I am a guy who is not very happy with himself.

I am a guy who is going to make a change.

    I love your honesty! I wish you nothing but success on your endeavor. Keep with it and never give up hope and after a while I am sure the steve you once knew will have grown to become an even more amazing person (and thinner too!)!

    Thank you so much, Dawn :)

    I can relate to so many things off this list! How about….I am the guy that goes to the movies for the popcorn…with extra butter? :)
    (Thats me!)

    Wow…sounds a lot like me above in terms of “typical” eating habits/capabilities. I’m on a similar path, though unlike you, Tyler @ 344, etc, I have a power lifting and hard training background. I just got really lazy and undisciplined, and I like to eat too much. This is the most motivated I’ve been in years though. Keep it up my man!!

    That was me about a year ago.. and more at 336 lbs. I know how it is.. pizza is my most favorite food and I can easily eat a large (I’m not sure if I can now).

    But that’s the old you yes? Once you start losing weight and feeling great, you don’t want to go back. Good luck to you!

    Cheers,

    Hey…. I understand all of this….especially the fried chicken. THAT is my arch nemesis. Cant even eat a little, just one time, or it will restart the whole cycle…

    You sound just like I used to be. I’d spend an entire weekend on my couch watching TV and movie marathons. And of course eating. Keep up the good work! You can do it! Lisa :)

    Hey Steve! I got to your blog because I saw that you follow tylers blog 344pounds a lot. I really enjoyed reading your blog. I also started one about a month ago and I also have a facebook page. Just like you, I hated my body and wanted to make a change. I have lost 22 Lbs so far and I love it! Keep working hard and if you have time check out my blog :)

    Thanks
    Molly
