A Call To Arms (or Farewell to Flab)

I believe that our core audience is made up of other guys who are either on the journey, or looking to begin, and they are searching for others of like mind, REAL guys, not the Jared’s of the world who go on to get fame for their success, but guys who lead real lives and are facing the same issues they encounter every day.

If anything, my fellow FatBloggers, we need to be more transparent in our successes and failures.  We need to really get detailed on what works and what doesn’t.  That may mean spending more time really paying attention to what we eat and what we do that gets us closer or takes us farther from our goal.  We can appear to be “superheroes”, because we post successes without showing the stumbling blocks and pitfalls that clearly define us to be just ordinary men who succeed because we don’t let those failures get in the way of our goal.

I’m preaching to myself too.  I’ve been lazy in my food choices lately and have taken my eyes off the goal.  I can’t succeed when I defeat myself.  I can’t be the example and encouragement my wife needs when I become an enabler allowing both of us to make bad decisions.

Finally, let’s just get out there on the ‘net (the tubes) and show the nay-sayers we can win and not give them the satisfaction of being right.

    In my weight loss journey, I’ve found that nothing beats eating less and exercising more. I keep a little journal where I write down everything I put in my body. I’ve found that once I started keeping track of everything it was much easier to make better food choices. By using the journal I was basically able to eliminate snacks completely, and these days I am only eating during the three daily meals.
