COMING OUT OF THE CLOSET ! by: *365tolife*

[365tolifeproject]

For years I would hide from the fact who I really
am . Embarrassed of my true identity. One secret I could not share with my family and friends,although it was so obviously noticeable. Afraid it would make me look weak and less of a man.I am so liberated because today I am announcing to the world that I am a FOOD ADDICT! No more lying to myself,family,and friends who I really am.I will never be that guy that eats 1100 calories but I also will no longer be that guy that allows his self to consume over 5000 calories.Willpower will not exist with me but the word control will. Yesterday and tomorrow will not be my focal points but today will. My relationship with food does not show weakness or failure it just shows I view food differently. As crazy as it may sound to some I did not get the point I am at, just by food alone. I need to overhaul my entire environment in order to be in control day to day. I will get better day by day. I would always be that I will start on Monday guy all the while I was consuming anything I could get my hands on. I wouldn't just think about what I was eating today I would think about what I was eating 3 months from now.
I am a FOOD ADDICT on the road to recovery.

  I want to take this opportunity to recognize Buba's effort to raise awareness about this complex issue. Do we really need to attack,or tackle the obesity issue? Who and what groups are being affected? How does the HEPA (Healthy Eating Physical Activity) action plan create success? Who benefits?  This project is 100 % not for profit and weight loss is not the target,but it is. Sound confusing !   The target is blood pressure,feeling better, feeliing accepted, for who you are. Today !  Not in 5 pounds, or six months.Feeling good is catchy.  ( Just so you are aware I am deathly obese, but I do not thing my weight is catchy) . If you have cought obesity  from someone, please let us know.

     Many  are reluctant to talk about obesity.  I hope through our desire to  promote acceptance others will come forward.

 

   Thank you  Bubba
