in Introduce Yourself
I'm back and im not proud. But im tired of lying to myself, I was a lot happier, and healthier when i first came to MFP. I then just fell out of it. I'm tired of lying to myself, and on my 27th b'day last month I got a bout of anxiety again. I need to do this. Since then I've gotten a beautiful girlfriend and I will marry her one day, once i stop lying to myself about how i live my life. I am finally going to try to take charge. I just need a little encouragement.

    First of all happy birthday, second of all, you're goatee is cool as hell, third of all, YOU HAVE A CHICK! That's awesome! The fact that you want to make a change is inspirational in itself. DON'T LET YOURSELF DOWN. Always log EVERYTHING you eat. Give yourself 2 days to have 2 cheat meals. What I find helps is, whenever I have a craving, i just write down what I'm craving, so when my cheat day comes, I KNOW what my cheat meal is and i plan ahead. Never eat more than the serving size or cut down, and try to stay away from bad carbs, As a dude, i found it beneficial to working out in the morning (testosterone levels are higher), crank up some tunes and you're good to go. ALWAYS PLAN MEALS IN ADVANCE, and keep a healthy caloric deficit.

    RECORD EVERYTHING! Including your workouts, mix it up so that they challenge you, because if it doesn't challenge you, it WON'T change you, AND THIS NEW LIFESTYLE WILL BE A CHALLENGE AT FIRST....and it WILL cause dramatic change.

    Goodluck buddy!
