My First Post

I have been inspired to start a blog in hopes that maybe one person can learn/understand from my experience of being a fat boy my whole life. I have to thank Muata from Mr. Low Body Fat for giving me some inspiration for starting this, for I see this could be a good way to keep me motivated and help someone out there with issues that us as Big Dawgs face. If you haven't seen that site, I suggest, even before you read mines, take a look at it. It has alot of great info, and he is great at keeping you motivated. Muata has a series called To My Big Dawgs that is an excellent series, and gave me an idea for adding an extra spin to it. Because there are issues that us as Big Dawgs face that no who has ever been overweight or obese can understand. So many issues that we deal with because of our weight like insecurities in various forms, rejections, perceptions of people, and plain 'ol being mad at the world because of the body that we're in. So with that said, for the sake of trying to remain anonymous, lets just call me Dubs. This is not because I'm ashamed, but I just don't want to be popular for this reason. Maybe in the future, reveal myself, but for now, this is how I will remain. The next post, I'm going to dive in to my life as a overweight, and obese person, to where I'm at in my life now. More than anything at this point, this is a place for reflection for myself. I believe writing it out will help my ongoing process of becoming the very best person I can. I really hope you have the inspiration to achieve what you want out of life, because I'm a living example of it. I was just like you Big Dawg. Fat, unmotivated, insecure, rejected by countless girls, fighting perceptions of people, etc. But now, I'm a new me, and my life has changed for the better. But it was not an easy task, and it took years of soul searching, figuring out who I am as a man, and deciding to take life into my hands, stop feeling sorry for myself, and do something about it. You don't have to be trapped in that body. You are a good man, but you feel that your body prevents you from being all that you can be. I know Big Dawg all too well. But in this blog, I will address some of these issues that we deal with, along with my progression in my journey, particularly, my weight loss, which is still a journey ongoing, but getting closer to my goal. Think of this like barbershop type talk about weight loss, and issues Big Dawgs go through. Due to my expressive nature, I probably will say things to offend you, but that's not what I'm trying to do. I'm just trying to keep it real, and that's the only way I know how. I know this is a cliche, but it is so true. IF I CAN DO IT, YOU CAN DO IT! I'm nothing special, and I'm not going to pretend that I'm a expert nutritionist. If you want to gain more knowledge on that, I suggest going to Mr. Low Body Fat, or Lyle McDonald's Body Recomposition site for that info. They are much better at that than me. But what I will provide is inspiration, and a point of view that I know all to well. So enjoy, and feel free to share your story too.
