The Plan

Hello and welcome! if your reading this you've stumbled onto my blog "Big Mac 2 Small Fry".

The reason for this blog is to continually blog my adventures as I continue my weight loss Journey. All my life I've struggled with my weight and have gone through my struggles of endless diets and weight loss programs.

 About a year and a half ago I reached my highest weight ever, a staggering 276lbs!!!! and no I'm not boasting about it, it was an all time low. I had low self esteem, confidence with girls was nonexistent and on top of that I was dealing with the physical and medical struggles that come with being that weight.

So around that time of hitting my peak weight I happened to have a doctors appointment for some pain and discomfort I was going through at the time due to my weight. As I explained to the doctor what the problem was he looked at me and said "look we can do surgery but its risky and usually there are complications with this sort of operation."

I looked at him and asked "we'll what other option do I have??" 

He said to me "there is one other option.....get your ass off of the couch and start exercising and changing your diet!!!" He said it in an angry and forceful tone. I was shocked and sat there saying nothing....

He continued by saying "how, Iain can you expect not to not have these health problems if your lifestyle is full of bad food and a sedantary lifestyle?? I won't operate on you because your 24 and should be in the prime shape of your life but your not, your lazy. I won't operate on you because other people who have health problems can't do anything about it and they deserve my time...."

Well that was the end of that! Haha I went home and instantly got a home exercise program called P90 which I did for about 3months and with changing my diet too lost 30lbs. I then continued with P90 until I was ready for P90X. I lost 20lbs on this program and gained lots of muscle so at that time I lost a total of 48lbs.

As of today that number is at 38lbs so I've started gaining the weight back. Why you ask? I got out of the habit of working out and recently found an excuse to eat unhealthy and pretty much had the mentality of "I just don't care anymore."

Well I've had a moment of clarity and I've decided to get back into it, but before I do I got to stop with the junk food and alcohol so...I'm doing a week of raw food...basically vegetarian diet. Then after the weeks up my goal is to do a 10 day juicing cleanse! The idea came from a documentary I watched on Netflix called "Fat, Sick & Nearly Dying" it's really great and it's pretty much about this fat guy who's sick......and nearly dying, I know right?? shock! Haha, he does Jucing for 60 days to cleanse his body from all the crap and toxins he's got going on from fast food, alcohol and everything else! Well the results are amazing, so check it out.

So that's my short term plan

1 week of Raw eating (Vegetarian basically) & then 10 Days of pure Jucing.

It's gonna be hard and I'll probably hide at home in order to avoid temptation but I know I have the self control to do it...even though lack of self control is what got me into this situation in the first place! :)

So I think that's it for today. I went shopping for fruit & Veg today at a store called Natures Fare in Langley so I'll post a picture of what I bought.

Tomorrow I'll have a juice for breakfast and then salad for lunch while snacking on Nuts...dinner I'm unsure, of I'll have to check the website again.
