I've seen folk do all sorts of crazy crap when they have a goal to get in shape, look hot, and otherwise prove the fact that they are better than you.
Since I include myself in this arrogant group of people, I figured I should probably actually DO something to justify a smidgen of my arrogance. (In case you haven't yet discovered this, I'm very sarcastic.)
I've struggled with weight for a long time. Since I went to Georgia for an extended period of time around 10 years ago, I started to have "weight issues". Nothing TOO severe, but I am an actor. This ever-shifting weight causes problems for my chosen path in life.
My struggles with weight have gotten worse as I struggle with my personal life, as well. I deal with mild to moderate depression. When I fine myself facing great loss, be it in opportunities or in relationships, I turn to food for comfort. I suffered a surge of weight when I was discharged from the Army for having asthma. I had my whole life planned out and then none of it planned out. I went through another, even larger surge in weight, when I went through a difficult break-up. Since then, I've tried to stabilize and return back to a healthy weight.
Recently, I've gotten a good survival job and I can now afford a personal trainer. I'm going to meet with him this week and get a program started, but I wanted to chronicle this process. This is going to be a life-changing experience and I'll admit to feeling a little intimidated as I've researched this trainer and his gym. Everything I can find says that this is going to be a rough ride, but very much worth it.
Here we go. Finally finding myself "fit to get fit."
