Getting Started…
So I’ve always been overweight. From my earliest childhood memories I was the fat kid. I look at my pictures from Little League and damn. Not that I didn’t exercise. I was never the kid who played video games all day or wasn’t active at all. I played sports year round and I was pretty good, but my diet was crap. When I was a kid we ate chips and cheese its and bean burritos. That’s what my parents kept in my house. How was I the only one that got fat?
So now I’m 31 and fat. I love to work out, but hate to eat health. That’s about to change. I have a 1.5 year old daughter and another on the way. Cancer runs in my family. I want to see these little girls grow up, and I’ll be damned if I’m raising obese children. Plus, hell, I’ve never been the guy w/ the hot body. It’s about time to give that turn. I’m ready for the hard work and the dedication. I’ve worked out off an on for the past 10 years so I know what I’m doing, but this time I’m doing it right.

Learn to eat clean, it’s not as hard as people seem to think, plus you will feel better
And your girls will learn this way of eating

Awesome! You are completely correct about your children. My ex husband has really bad eating habits. He weighed 185 when we were engaged. he weighed 350 our first year of marriage. He got diabetes at 22. He has never changed his eating habits. Now at 38 he has an insulin pump. He learned bad eating habits at a young age and passed his poor eating habits down to his kids. My daughter suffers from the habits of comfort eating that he taught her. Children always take the easiest road. If one parent has bad habits, they will most certainly have them as well. Onward in the fight! Go Dad….

Best of luck to ya, eating right takes time. I’m 34 now, and never really stuck with one eating pattern. I have two boys now, and they do watch what dad’s eating.
