Its_Me_Mark
How's it going all? My name is Mark and I am about to go through what seems to be a life changing experiance. At 6-1, I have always been a big guy, but not necessarily considered a fat guy. As the years get tacked on, I noticed the weight was getting harder to keep off and instead of slow gradual weight gain, I started putting on 30lbs annually. after a recent doctors physical, the doctor suggested weight loss surgery. I used to always think that weight loss surgery was for severly obese people and never thought I was one who would need it. When the doctor explained my BMI as well as what the effect of my weight was having on my body,...Needless to say, it's time for a change.
I consider myself highly motivated and extremely positive. I enjoy being around people and making them laugh and helping motivate them. As nice as that seems, I find it hardest to motivate myself and stay positive when it comes weight issues. I come from a family that enjoys eating. It's what we do when we get together for celebrations, holidays, etc. The hardest part will be breaking my life long old habits and adopting new ones. Heres to hoping that I meet many friends on this network and lead me to a happy and healthy long, life.
