Today’s post was inspired by one of my (Facebook) Team Meltdown Members Cherylann Thomas, who told me that “she was afraid to fail at her diet.”
I wanted to write about this topic of fear today because just like me so many folks are afraid of weight loss.
I am not by anyway an expert on the subject of weight loss since I am a work in progress. But I have a degree in LIVING WITH OBESITY, so I guess I am just about as knowledgeable on this topic as any college professor.
I just want to point out that life is just full of disappointments and letdowns. If you want something bad enough then put in the work and it will eventually happen.
Everyday that I am on this diet it is a battle for me. I also sometimes make mistakes and fall off track.
But then I realize what I have done and get back into the swing of things immediately. I think in the past I was subconsciously giving up just because it was easier to do when I made a mistake.
I found that I would regrettably quit my diet if I messed up because it was the easy way out.
But was I punishing myself or rewarding my unhealthy eating? The scary question for me was this another excuse to eat more bad stuff? I know you already know the answer to that question right? So I will even attempt to take it there with you then.
This is when I realized that I just wanted to put off an excuse to overeat and not feel bad knowing I was killing myself. If you know you have a problem like I do when it comes to over eating.
Then from what I heard you have to take ownership to be effective at losing weight. So I leave you with this thought for the day. Are you doing everything you can to work on your diet and weight loss?
Are you making excuses so that you can avoid the reality of working on your health? Are you worth the hard work and pain it takes to lose weight and change your physical life for the better?
I feel that I am and this is why I am Mr. Meltdown because I will eventually lose my weight needed to be healthy. I just hope that anyone going through the same this is trying just as hard to do the same.

THE QUESTION THAT I LEAVE YOU WITH TODAY IS.

ARE YOU WORTH THE EFFORT?

I KNOW I AM AND WILL NEVER GIVE UP THE STRUGGLE!

WE CAN LOSE WEIGHT AND DO THIS TEAM MELTDOWN!

Back in August of 2009 I started a 12 Week 50lbs Fitness Challenge. When I first started on this insane plan I was weighing 424.4lbs. I am now at 390lbs which means that so far I have lost over 34lbs since August.

This means that if I lose another 16lbs I would have reached my goal of the first 50lbs gone.

I am at a point that I am feeling like I am worth the effort to lose weight. I have been living my life with so many obstacles that are just unavoidable.

I have been kind of down about not having lost all 50lbs by now, but the deal is that I have lost weight and that is what is important right?

I have been trying to rethink my life path as far as my career goals and relationships and things like that.  None of that matters if I am overweight and not in the best healh I could be in right?

Since I have started this blog I have made so many really cool friends that email me and some that I even talk to on the phone. This journey has made me look at health in a new way and has given me a second chance to do a full Mr. Meltdown makeover.

It is worth the effort and hard work to know that I am going in the right direction in life and it feels good. I have to say that just because something is hard and you have to work at it for a long time doesn’t mean I should put it off. I think a little more logically now and set small goals to reach and that helps me stay on target.

I did realize I am not perfect and sometimes fall off track of my diet but now I get back into the swing of it quicker. I find that it is so much easier for me to push away cheese cake and my favorite apple pie and pick up an apple now.

So if anyone is going through what I am going through and on a diet please don’t give up it is possible to reach your goals.

I am not at my goal yet but I will be soon God willing and if I am doing it then anyone else can too.

Talk with you later,

Your Pal,

Mr. Meltdown

You know sometimes in life we all go through things that can make people form opinions about us.

People sometimes still look at me and judge me just because I’m overweight without getting to know me first.

The fact that I am over weight made me feel like giving up many times before and even some times still to this day.

But I continue because I know my mother and sister may not be on earth but they are in heaven watching over me.

Today I was feeling a little like I just needed to hear something positive and came across this video of Steve Harvey giving real testimony.

I just wanted to share it with all of you because it made me understand that it is OK to go through things.

So if the message from this video reaches someone who just needed to hear something positive  today then I would guess it has served it’s purpose.

If this video has touched anyone like it touched me then let me know, I would like to hear about it. God bless you guys and I will chat with you later.
