Breaking Past 250

So the scale tipped 264lb back in February which sparked a change, a revolution, something primal and spiritual at once inside. Of never again will the scale say 260.

I began my journey of change and transformation on February 26th with a commitment of drinking Shakeology one time a day for 30 days. The changes that happened internally was phenomenal and quite breathtaking. As a former sugar feign stopped craving sugar and processed food altogether. I was the guy who had to add salt to every meal and consumed easily 4-7X the normal Daily Requirement for sodium. And to have those cravings change within one week of drinking Shakeology, simply put was a miracle.

 My poor wife just got use to making me "man" portion sizes when that began changing, what I wanted to eat changed, everything was changing inside and even mental how I saw myself.  I started getting glimpses of a new man inside. A man who had been their the whole time, but someone I buried in fat and self-hatred and loathing. My visceral fat started to breakdown around my liver and abdominal wall.

Within the 30 days I went from 264.4 to 251.0. 13.4 lbs with just drinking the shakes in the morning and embracing the new diet changes. The funny thing is it wasn't painful or even necessarily difficult to let go of that portion of my life. But I realized I had made a deal with myself that I can allow myself to weigh 250. The fact that I pushed the weight at 260 is was tipped the scale, but I have broken thinking that says as long I as weigh 250 I will be okay.
Well, that needs to change, and change quick. I realized a few days ago that my transferance into the 240lb weight range means that my life is going into another phase of weight loss, its a whole nother pant size down and I am going to fit into several shirts that I haven't been able to wear in the last 7 months.
And when you lose 20lbs people notice, they comment about how good I look. And for some reason that scares me...well use to scare me. Because now I am a different man, with a different mind, living for a different purpose.

I am making the new acceptable weight for my life as 180lbs.  So 250lbs, I am breaking past you, and you can't stop me anymore. I am not going to sit by and let me life be robbed by obesity, self-esteem issues, or trying to pretend I am something I am not by letting passive thinking deter me from my destiny.

So beginning today on 04/07/2013 marks a significant shift in my thinking and approach to weight loss and lifestyle management. I have 74.8 lbs to lose to get to my goal weight of 180 lbs.  I didn't get to my scary weight of 264.4 overnight, and I know that I am not going to get to my target weight of 180 lbs in the next week.  But I am BREAKING PAST 250 into a new acceralrated weightloss, where my body and metabolism works for me and not again me. Where my body looks to burn extra fat and calories.
And I commit to eating a clean diet, and to listen to what my body needs and not eat junk food just to avoid hurting people's feelings.
