My Photos | mobysiah Ever Since I can remember I always had a little extra on me. In high school I slowly gained a few punds but not too much but I could still notice it. I was never really athletic per se. I always concentrated more on music and theatre. When I started my first year of college, it was the freshman 50, not 15, that I gained! I never seemed to have the motivation to get that off and keep it off. Ever Since I can remember I always had a little extra on me.

When I started my first year of college, it was the freshman 50, not 15, that I gained! I never seemed to have the motivation to get that off and keep it off. Yo-Yo- diets and other "fad" items to lose weight. The ab-rocker, the bow flex, gym membership after gym membership. I realized that knowing you should do something and doing something are 2 totally different things. I left college after my first year and went to work not knowing what I wanted to do. First a waiter, then a security officer for one of the local casino's and then moved on to blackjack, and craps dealer, but it was not what I wanted to do for ever. My personal life came to an almost stand still as I did not love or respect myself how could I have someone else in my life. My weight topped to 320 lbs. One additional bad habit I developed form the casino was I started smoking. So another aweful thing to add to the list of things I needed to change! I eventually left the casino to continue school full time. I worked part time jobs here and there while in school and then finally became a nurse aide full time while I finished school for nursing. I graduated in 1999, still at about 320 lbs. No personal life, and very lonely. I have a lot of friends, I think I am blessed with friends, but still felt lonely. I went to work at my first hospital in early 2000. I liked it a lot it was crazy and talk about "baptism by fire"! But I learned a lot and enjoyed who I worked with and was actually enjoying life. I was talking to one of the doctors who introduced me to my first low carb diet. It worked really well. I lost 100lbs in 5 months. (I just didnt know it would come back as soon as you put carbs back in your diet especially with no excersize). On Sept 7th 2001, I joined the US Army and shipped to basic training. I liked the Army a lot and did it for a little over 5 years. While I was in though I continued to struggle with weight. Eventually I transfered to the nurse corp and became an Army Officer, but was very embarrased that I has so many issues with my weight and physical fitness. I was sent to Iraq in Jan 2004 and did a full year to the day till Jan 2005. While I was there I was having issues with my back that continued to get worse while in country so that made performing physically even more difficult. I was an officer. . . I was supposed to set a good example but I could never get to where I wanted to be! I believe part of the reason was I never really knew what to do. I knew I had to lose weight but I was doing it all wrong. Excersizes with poor form and worst of all, I kept cutting calories, instead of increasing them thinking, that was what I was supposed to do. I left the Army in June of 2006 thinking that I wanted to get back home to all my friends and family. I loved it at first but then I realized that life went on without me. Don't get me wrong. I love my family and friends and they will always be my friends but I was gone almost 6 years and life went on with out me. I am still single with no kids where as most of my friends are married. I want to be some day, but until then I have figured out I need to live my life! I need to stop living for the times that I can get together with my friends, and start living all the time. Because of this epiphany, I have decided to go back into the Army. While I was working as a nurse at an agency meaning I traveled a lot from hospital to hospital I saw the commercial for P90x on tv late night while I was off and doing my usual of watching tv alone after eating some awful food from some awful restaurant. I WAS HOOKED! I started researching it. Looking for blogs or testimony that was not on the Beach body site. I went all over the Internet. I was asking people I knew. i researched for 9 Months, before I decided to buy it! I found my answer! I am not afraid of hard work. i am afraid of hard work with no direction and no goal! The definition of insanity is doing something over and over all the while knowing it isnt gonna work! I found my happy pill and its called P90X! I started Aug. 10th 2009. I will keep you up to date on the message boards. Keep pushing play! Finally, remember, "Do your best, and forget the rest!" | Please sign in to flag this as inappropriate.
