This is my bio, it's just the bio won't let me save my bio :)
OK long of the short, I was in two automobile accidents one being Feb 7th of 2008 and Feb 22nd of 2008. Before the wrecks I weighed in at around 260. I had been wanting to loose weight at that point but unfortunately being injured in such a way has a very large impact on someone. Before this I could do many activities and I always did. I had admittedly gotten a bit lazy about a year before the wrecks and gained about 40 pounds. When I realized it was when I was at the hospital after the first wreck they asked me my weight and I told them 225 and the nurse giggled.
So now that I'm on the back end of the depression that really effected me because of just simply having to accept what I can't do, and focus on what i can. Health, Diet and Walking.
First thing I did was quit smoking three years ago. Then I gave up all tobacco and nicotine two years ago.
Second thing I did was I discovered that you could get this stuff called water? I thought you could only get it through Mountain Dew I was apparently wrong. I would drink a half case every two days at home, and at work I would have three to four 20 ounce bottles of random Coke / Pepsi product.
Third thing was the talk with my Dr. about my not loosing weight or being able to keep going with walking, or finding motivation to do it. I talked to my Dr. because of the trouble I was having loosing weight in any way and he's supporting me. I changed the amount of food I was eating, the amount of drinks dropped down to maybe three a week, and I wasn't loosing anything. So he suggested I start taking Phentermine.
Now that I've reached my first goal through just shear luck and determination I've started to do research, and counting along with walking. You'll notice that I have a bump in my weight line, it's there because I allowed myself to eat what I wanted, drink what I wanted for a five day stretch. I noticed I couldn't eat near what I used to, but I still crave the bad.
So I've got myself to these rules for myself.
1) I don't allow any more than 1800 calories intake a day. Food and drink combined.
2) I do easy exercise since my back can't take running, disc golf, ect. I ride a recumbent bike or walk for no less than twenty minutes every other day. As an option I will exercise one day of the weekend if I feel I can. I try to go as long as possible though.
I have such a problem with pain if I stopped when it started hurting then I'd get no more than ten minutes in when I do go. So I force myself. I know that my back wont start to give me relief unless I get rid of this extra weight i am carrying. I feel it's not right that I have to do this because of someone else's negligence, purely my opinion. I could have been a happy old fat man. But I'm just going to have to do this so I can get to the point hopefully where I don't hurt all the time anymore. From what my doctors tell me and the way I understand it this may be possible, so I'm going for it.
Wish me luck, and I hope yours is going well.
