My Motivation to weight loss.
12 months ago if someone had said to me "if you lose 7 stone in weight, your penis will grow by 11 inches and you will become immensely Rich" i would have lost that 7 stones in four months.
if on the other hand they had said to me "if you Don't lose 7 stone in weight you will inevitably become subject to illnesses and probably suffer an early death" i would have said "pppfftt yer right"!
Its amazing how we become motivated by things that are purely material, and our health sits on the back burner.
Well earlier this year i realised that my health was on the line due to my weight problem! I weighed in at 23st12lb and inevitably i was suffering for it.
Too many times before i have thought "i will go on a diet and sort things out", but it didn't get much further than that. Lets say it was a token gesture, so that if some one mentioned weight problems i could say "yes, im on a diet". it would be an excuse for me to carry on necking bottles of wine and take away meals. i would indulge in high fat fast food and convenience snacks while proclaiming that i was trying hard to lose weight.
Well that was not going to happen this time! I felt a steely determination flushing through my veins. Finally the most important thing happened, i stopped making excuses. There was no more "well at least i am trying" rationalizations.
So at the very end of February i turned up at SW, not knowing exactly what to expect although i knew a lot about the diet and methods used. I was already one and a half stone down from my heaviest as i was doing the slimming world plan in my own fashion.
This was the first time i met my fellow sufferers, that is you lot. To say i was nervous was an understatement, though that fear was soon put to bed. You made me feel normal and at home to which i am eternally grateful.
From that day forwards i have stuck to my plan, it's not text book Slimming world, but it is built on their fundamentals.
I don't eat bread at all any more and i don't miss it. (not something sw recommend)
I avoid pastry at all costs and i don't miss it. (not something sw recommend)
Now i do miss the odd drop of alcohol, but it's a sacrifice that i have to make as i have a goal or even "a mountain to climb".
Throughout my life i have been on one of three levels of mind in relation to my weight.
1) I am unhappy with my weight and i am going to make a token effort to lose weight. (most of my life)
2) I am unhappy with my weight and i will do something about it every day of the rest of my life. (That's me now)
3) I am happy with my weight. (this only occurred when i was a new born, or when i am totally drunk out of my head or when i forgot how much of a lump i am or was!)
So there you have it, i am going to do something about it for the rest of my life, and as for the penis extension......well i will just have to make do with fruity Rivitas i suppose. (see reference below).
Fruity Rivita reference; One of our elder statesmen male members, one made a joke in group about how women like things long and hard like the stiff fruity rivitas. It took him a while to get over it.
If you like what i do and it helps motivate you, drop me a dollar, i can then make some more.
