			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you ever want to accomplish something sometimes you just got to jump out there and make a fool of yourself. You might actually discover that you aren&#8217;t making a fool of yourself. I have struggled with my weight for awhile and I finally came to the breaking point a week ago. When you stand in front of the mirror shaving and you start to cry because of what you have become it is time to fix it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;">I have always joked about being fat, bald headed and hairy and it makes others and myself laugh but to tell you the truth I don&#8217;t always laugh. I think my comedic side was just hiding my true feelings about who I had become. I was an overweight slob. I don&#8217;t need anyone to tell me that I am being too harsh on myself because I&#8217;m not. I have heard people tell me for the last three years that &#8220;you&#8217;re not that big, you just have a belly, etc, etc, etc&#8230;&#8221; I am that big. I weighed myself and I weighed in at 268 lbs. That is pathetic. So I decided to &#8220;make a fool&#8221; of myself and inspire others.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;">This site and upcoming blogs will be a journal of motivation, success, and failures. I want to encourage you and anyone else you know to leave comments. Both good and bad. You see, I have thick skin and I thrive on negative feedback. Get in my face and yell at me. It feeds the Marine side of me that can be quite scary at times. Hopefully with your help I can make it come alive and become scary to my fat.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;">The goal is to update this blog once or twice a week with new pictures every two weeks. I will share meal plans as well as workout plans. Hopefully I can inspire everyone that needs to liose a few extra pounds.</span></p>
