First off I commend you on going to the gym, have seen your posts on your facebook page. Gives me motivation to get off my lazy ass and do some exercising. I will be getting a gym membership by the end of the month, more of a financial speed bump then a motivational one. I hope you do not mind I am using your losses as a watermark for my losses to push myself and keep on track. I have also gotten I can't imagine you skinny comments but what is worse I have also gotten them from my own head. Define yourself as the kind and jolly fat guy for so long and you become that person. I am so scared of change that I have given a few friends permission to kick me in the nuts if I turn into one of those "reformed" skinny people. you know the type the ones who forget where they came from and are judgmental of all the "fatties". Get yourself healthy and find your true self if you wear too many masks/personas you will have a hard time recognizing the man you see in the mirror. Friends come and go as you grow older and life changes, you are a different person now than six months from now and will be a different person in a years time. If a friendship can last your life changes than that is great if not you have great memories to look back upon a different time of your life. Wish you well and look forward to your next upload.
you have to surround yourself with people who will support you and not put you in difficult situations where you will fall of track..Your friends are your friends i get it..but if thier not behind you and helping you during this time then its time to put them on the back burner for now.Time for some Gym friends,workout friends,walking friends,healthy friends..For this to work everyone has to be on the same page as you and now what your goals are.And if they are not its time to give them a timeout..Sorry to say it but it must be done.Because if you dont then they are always going to be putting you in situations that are going to be difficult and make it easy for you to fall off track and make wrong decisions.Wether it be eating wrong,drinking to much,not working out just putting you in a different mindset.Real friends Support!!!!
I'm afraid to say too much. I just pause this around the 9 minute Mark so go back about 15 seconds prior. I think the circle of friends who identify with you as a party guy who they can get wrecked with every time... they may be afraid to look at themselves as you change. They may be afraid you will no longer need them as your circle of people, once getting smashed and fucked up is out of the picture. Same with the friends afraid for you to lose weight. they're afraid as you raise the bar in your life, they may not be as desirable. Truth is if they cannot respect sobriety around you and be okay, then they won't be desirable and shouldn't be. I'm kinda pissed at your friends for seeming so selfish. Your life matters man. SO MUCH. you come first. I'm giving you my phone number when you run into these situations call me and I swear I will be your God damn sponsor
