The Dark Side of Being a Bully

Man, that was a short trip. Not even once around the block! 

Look guys, I'm no wussie, but - I don't have the emotional coins left over at the end of the day to deal with the hassle of reading and living the drama. Blog land has become "Bogged Down Land"! Has it really come to this? Yes, it has.

That is why I'm leaving my girlfriend. I still love her with all my heart. But she can't seem to get rid of her one bad habit of judging every one she sees. And not just a scoff and an occasional eye-roll. But an all-out attack. She is full of hate and even rage. She tends to go ballistic at times, and nothing will convince her to stop. And she's miserable inside.

And that is why I am leaving the blogs, as well.  Any brainless wonder can come in here, attacking people, when they could (and should) be focusing on losing some weight. Where I come from, we call that "talking out of both sides of your mouth at the same time."

I am trying, and doing the work that needs to be done in my life. And blogging seems - make that seemed - like a great place of community. People so far have been very encouraging. Even delightful. And I want to thank you all for your trust and faith in me. But this inane back-stabbing gossip, I just don't have time for. Sheesh, dumb-ass! Get a life! Isn't there enough to do in NYC to keep you from calling out the girlies? Especially the ones that have already done what 'you' only talk about doing.

Who is following whom - whatever! Who is dropping who - who cares! Focus more on your own weight loss and not so much pushing your weight around on the playground.

Did the quintessential dumb ass guy who writes all this crap about other bloggers - doesn't he know that behind each little avatar button, there is a real person with real feelings? I'm sure he does - and he seems to delight in tearing up and tearing down, when we "should" all be building each other up and encouraging each other. Is this what happens when you lose weigh? You turn into a dumb ass? Cus I tell you now, that won't happen to me, when (not if, but when) I shape up, and ship out.

Does this savage loud mouth boasting moron even give a shit if some nurse in Texas  eats bread every day? Or potatoes? Because at the end of the day, that's really all that low carbohydrate diets are. Much less sugar, and much less starch. It's not a fad, and it does work and works every time, as long as you are on the diet. Even in the short week or so I've been on it, it has changed the shape of my body.

People thrive on controversy, I guess. And drama. And making a big deal out of nothing. I am the guy here on the couch. I WAS that guy, I mean. I see how cruel people can be toward fat people. My girlfriend is also close to 300 pounds, so it's not from prejudice or judging fatties that I speak. And I myself am morbidly obese. I just don't want to be that guy any more.

I just want to climb out of the mirk and the mire.... not get back into it. And Yes, you can quote me on that. Hey look, I can rant, too! Sorry about that. And thank you all for reading.

And The Winner Is....

Low Carb wins!

But you already knew that! I can't wait to get started. I know it will be hard, and all that good stuff they always say. But I am tired of not getting into a booth and getting felt up on flights to make sure my seat belt fully latches..... and well, you know the fatty drill!

Now the Determined Drill!

First, a few changes before the actual diet starts. So like no donuts and no beer and no absent minded snacking. 

More walking and more reading about all the cool things you get to have when you go low carb.

Salad dressing - I love you! Silly but true. Why eat the stuff if you can't stand it? Salad dressing makes all things right in the salad world.

Thanks to everyone who made great comments and people who were kind enough to answer my emails, and sent me "tips" on blogging and blogs!

I should name you all, but thanks in the meal while.

So long to the 280's. I need a good scale. It would already show about 5 pounds off. I'm sure cuz I am gonna need a new belt or pants or both! Woot, woot, indeed!

Until next time!

Wow - Followers!

Greetings one and all!

I am very happy to see some real live people already at my blog. That feels great! 

And you are right - you can call me Determined Dude! for sure. Because that is exactly what I am!  I also looked up those blog links you supplied. And those are some awesomely powerful stories. I think Blogland is  a little slow for the Christmas Holiday, but I can tell these guys (and gals) are just picking up steam.

There are some funny posts, and some serious posts. And everything in between. I guess for the pure science of it all, low carb seems to work best for everyone. That makes sense. I ate some pie for Christmas, and it was ok. I didn't even finish it. It was like sympathy pie. I am breaking up with my girlfriend, and we both know it, so it was one of those times where it's easier to just go along with it all, than to cause a scene.

I don't think she really wants me to succeed. I have a good job - in sales. And I make OK money. I will never be rich, but I can at least be happy.

If you want to achieve greatness, stop asking for permission! I found this on google when I typed in "try again." I thought it fit the bill exactly!

The pie, it gave me a real bad heartburn. Or maybe it was just the tension! Who said holidays are supposed to be all smiles and happy? Not me!

So the low carb idea is really catching on! There are some blogs that are ON FIRE when it comes to pounds off. That gives me hope!

Oh, yeah, and I went for a 30 minute walk today.

I might get a pedometer. Not the cheapo kind, but nothing too over the top expensive, either. That shouldn't be too hard to find this time of year. The New Year's Resolution people are gearing up for their big diets! I shouldn't make fun... I did the exact same thing for the past 7 or 8 New Years!

Thanks for clicking the follow button here, and as soon as possible, I'll pay the favor back! 

Better Days, Dudes!

Hello World

Hello - My name is Fatty and I am At It Again!

Hello, Fatty! 

Seriously, though, I am just a guy who is overweight - in a big way.

I read every day about bloggers who use this space to keep track of the eats.

So I thought Sure - why not!?

I am 5'10" and weigh about 250 - I say actually closer to 280!  You know, I never step on the scale. And even then I think it's lying!

So I am going to try a miserable low fat diet again, this year.  Cutting back here and there, and walking a little after work.

Any ideas? Please send them my way!

I take a pretty casual approach to life. But deep inside I want this so bad! I cannot fail again!

I am pretty shy about posing in front of a camera, but I am trying to be brave and show a picture of myself without my head attached..... maybe one day, huh?  Brave and not ashamed.

So thanks for reading my blog - Wow - did I really just say that!?

I can't say I will write every day. My work schedule is crazy - with school and all.

I just say this-- THIS time I will try, try try again!

Because I am tired of being the guy who is "Fatty Fatty 2 x 4! Can't get through the bath room door!"
