I’m sick at what I’ve become.
I don’t blog much at all on here but I feel like I need to. I thought i was doing ok but I don’t think I have been doing good at all. I grew up a skinny kid and just wanted to gain some muscle. As I have been getting older I have been gaining weight. For a while I was happy because I was filling out a bit and my appetite was getting better. Now I feel like I am carrying spare tires around my lower belly. I feel like I am turning into my dad and brothers…that’s something I promised I would not do. I have been working out off and on for about 2 years now and I have been pretty serious since January. I have even had a few trainers to work with over this time frame. I recently took a couple weeks off and have just gotten back to things the other night. I looked in the mirror tonight and was awakened to a nightmare. I am not what I thought I was. I have been coming home sore as can be and I crave certain foods and for most of the time I don’t give in to my cravings but yet I look like I do. I am real disappointed and kinda depressed about the whole deal. I don’t know what to do. I feel encouraged yet no change has happened. I have more strength and more endurance yet my appearance makes me look so out of shape. I am at a loss of words and at a loss of ideas. I don’t wanna give up because I will end like I don’t want to for sure then. But at the same time I feel like that’s going to be my result no matter what I do. I am just really saddened at what I have become. Hopefully things will change soon.

First of all, I scanned your pics & you don’t look that bad. Don’t base your happiness on whether you look like a competitor bb’r.
With that being said, if you want to have a ripped physique & you’re working out consistenty, then it’s all about the DIET, DIET, DIET. Eat CLEAN small meals, every 2-3 hrs. You should eat balanced small meals (not snacks), with plenty of protein, every 2-3 hrs to keep your metabolism humming to burn bodyfat & get plenty of nutrients. See Tosca Reno’s site for diet:

Off and on doesn’t work. You’ve got to be consistent with your training. Maybe your diet needs an overhaul also?

I eat all good things. But maybe not enough? I use to count my calories with a previous trainer but haven’t lately. And I have been off and on since 2007 but have been going strong since January of 2009. But yeah my diet does need revamping but I just don’t know how to do it.
