“OL”
"OL" - It’s just 2 letters, but those 2 letters brought some very ego damaging news to me.
For all you football fans, "OL" does NOT stand for offensive line.
What is "OL?" - It’s the reading on my scale when I stepped on it this morning. "OL" stands for "over the limit." Which means I’m too heavy for a scale!
The same scale that I have always been on…
Which means I’ve GAINED weight!?!?
Now I will admit that I have not hit "The Plan" like I’m suppose to, but that was such a devastating blow for me. At this point, I want to throw in the towel - Lately the only reason I’ve been coming on here is to add new friends, read blogs, and HOPE that I can find some inspiration.
When I watched "Body of Work" - (The BFL video tape that started it all) - The people in the video stated that you have to make a conscience decision that you ARE going to change youe lifestyle - But I guess I’m just like 90% of this country, I WANT to make a lifestyle change, but still have not made the decision.
Hopefully I can find inspiration not just on here, but also from within…

It’s just amazing how I can provide so much inspiration to others on here, yet I can’t seem to inspire myself.
It makes me wonder, "Do I believe in the product that I’m selling?"
- I guess it’s like "doctors make the worst patients."

Dude, I feel your pain. I just blogged about fu** this diet because I made a goal to really lean out and to really give it a shot being in shape. Today is my third day of clean eating and I am already so pissed off about the food situation I feel like quitting it. I haven’t even had an objective reality, like the scale, to give me a setback. If you feel like a baby for wanting to quit, I am worse because I don’t even have a reason other than do I have the discipline to really do this? I don’t know man, maybe we need to start our own website for people who can’t stick to the food stuff. . . .
Hit me up anytime to bitch, motivate, whatever. We both know we both can do this and we both want to do this, but it does suck. Make no mistake about it. These shedded up dudes who say, "oh, just a few weeks of clean eating, and blah blah blah" What about the third day when I want to snap?

DON’T QUIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EITHER OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT is hard I know but, I seriously believe anything this hard has to be worth it. I have tried and tried but continue to let myself down. I was in the same condition yall are but realized that to be happy with the man in the mirror I have to change. Lastgoodfella find whatever keeps you inspired and hold on to it. I started putting pictures everywhere: in my journal, in my wallet, i am trying to find some cool posters for my workout space. Email me too and maybe we can help each other. That goes for you too Maverick17. The food is especially hard. There are recipes at menshealth.com. Just because it is healthy doesnt mean it has to be bland.
DON"T QUIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
