What this blog is all about

Hello there.

My name is Adam. I used to be a fat feller. Now, I'm not. It's something I used to tell people all the time, but now I really don't share the information unless I feel like being self-deprecating (about the old days) or to offer a sense of encouragement for people on the road to being healthy (nowadays). I quit talking about it because I used to constantly be asked how I did it, what diet I followed, etc.

I didn't follow any prescribed diet. No Adkins, no sugarbusters, no grapefruit diet. Just a lot of determination, effort, and common sense.

Unfortunately, when I tried to share these particulars, people would ask for help but NEVER FOLLOW IT. It's really disappointing to get excited about helping somebody and putting in the work to help them out only to see them offer no effort on their own AT ALL.

A lot of people, however, have taken my advice to heart and gotten in really good shape. However, I felt like I was wasting time helping people who didn't want to put the effort into doing what I asked that I could have been spending on people who were willing to put legitimate work into their own success.

So I figured a more passive environment like the internet would allow me to offer help to people who actually will put it to use and weed out people who say they want to get in shape but really don't want to.

I'm going to talk a lot about goals, so it's only fair that I talk about my own goals here. My goal, is to spread all the useful information I found in my own weight loss and my own common sense, realistic approach. Hopefully, I'll help some people out who really want it. I really believe that people can get in shape and lead healthy, positive lives without eating ridiculous diets, killing themselves in the gym everyday, or swallowing potentially unhealthy supplements.

I plan to be slightly erratic about posting. I'll talk about diet. I'll talk about exercise. I'll talk about the psychological components, which are a huge part of the process. I'll share a lot of my personal experiences, because I think it helps to know other people have experienced the changes you will experience.

Good luck.
