New Zealands Biggest Looser

Just going to make a list of all the bad habits i currently have.

• Procrastination: ” I will do it tomorrow”.
• Eating junk food fast.
• Giving up when the going gets tough.
• Living with in my comfort bubble.
• Unorganized everything.
• Not finishing things i have started.
• Saying something to people and not following through.
• Dream of greatness and then go to sleep.
• Playing World of Warcraft.
• Tilting in poker and continue to play.
• Not going to the gym.

Will add more when i think of them. Also i shall hope to address each of these and replace them with ones that are more positive.

A new day and a new plan. For the majority of my life i have been having toast for breakfast. Normally 2 pieces of toast with margarine and a spread such as Vegemite or Peanut Butter and if we have bananas. To make my toast more appealing and apply a generous spread of margarine onto the hot toast, yum yum.  On the odd occasion i have cereal  and sometimes left over pizza.

Today when i woke up i new i had to start making new healthier choices beginning with breakfast. My initial choice was banana on toast and no margarine but there were no bananas left in the pantry. So it came down to Vegemite with marg or without marg. I had to think for a 30 seconds as i know that Vegemite with marg tastes 10 times better. Eventually though i knew i had to make better decisions so without the fatty marg i went. No where as tasty but it should be enough fuel in the tank before the next meal.

Its a small decision but an important one. Making conscious decisions while keeping my goal in mind is the first step for me loosing the weight. Just need to keep this up through out the day.

Hey guys,

I am not sure how this blogging thing works but i will be using it as a journal to clarify my thought processes as i attempt to reach my dream/s. Through out my life to date ive made decisions in a haphazard manner which has lead me to being overweight, unemployed and at times mildly depressed. By putting pen to paper i hope to identify my negative habits/ thoughts and change them so that i can come closer to reaching my potential.

SUPREME DREAM #1

My ultimate goal that i want to focus on is that of weight loss. Through out my life i have always been known as ‘big fella’, this is something I have become sick and tired of and dream of loosing this tag for good. I want to be fit and healthy, able to enter into relationships with other people, play sport, to move freely around town without the fears in my head overwhelming me. All in all i want my life back, i want a life.

GOAL: To be under 90kg by 6/6/2012 ( 1 year from now)

Currently i am 148kg i find this deeply depressing but at the same time I’m excited about becoming a healthier person. The last time i was 90kg was 10 years ago, i think to myself if i was at this weight now how much life would be better. Dreams are free.

Being a ‘big fella’ i constantly turn down opportunities to enjoy life which has led to me living a life of isolation. It is a life that i no longer find acceptable, i want to experience what life has to offer. I’m willing to put in the hard yards so that i can live a normal life.

So yeah that is my goal for the year ahead and a very brief description of where i am at now. As i progress through this journey i will go attempt to go deeper into who i am, how i got here and where I’m going.
