I have recently discovered that I have a fear of getting fat again, and I don’t think it is healthy.  Being fat is obviously not a perk with type-2 diabetes and all of the other health complications that come with being heavy…. and I do NOT want to gain back weight, I want to keep loosing.

Right now I haven’t been on a scale in almost two months, and I have a feeling I have picked up about 10lbs from where I was before.  This is due partially to a change in work schedule, and of course the re-birth of my monster appetite which has gone on a rampage like Godzilla in a land full of high rises.  On the other side of things, I am also exercising at a local gym, doing four miles on a treadmill and working up a sweat listening to dubstep tracks that my friend Danny introduced me to.  Being on a treadmill listening to dubstep is the equivalent to being a robot on a conveyor belt, which makes everything seem easier if not mechanical.  I enjoy the treadmill, and I love being able to work up a sweat – but I am starting to feel more bloated, and less “skinny,” which makes me think that my diet regimen must be altered.

My biggest fear…. being the lard ass that I was only months ago.

You should see my drivers license photo, I look like I was inflated in the face!  I recently got pulled over for having a headlight out, and the police officer didn’t believe it was me!  Seriously?!  I don’t want to be that fat ass person again, and so I really have to work hard at working out, and tomorrow I certainly need to not consume as much calories, and work out more than I take in….. it’s the secret to loosing weight: CALORIES CONSUMED is less than CALORIES BURNED = WEIGHT LOSS.

So yes, while I am miles away from being Brad Pitt or some Greek Adonis, I am on the road to fixing myself up and getting better.  This means that I need to regulate my diet better, and maintain a simple exercise regimen.  So, I hit the gym every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday – and from now on, I eat freaking fat free & healthy.

Otherwise I will look like a beached whale again, and that is so un-sexy!

UnFat For Now,
