Fat Boy

One morning I was in the bathroom and had gotten out of the shower and looked at myself in the mirror. My 5’ 9” & 210lbs frame was truly becoming not a sexy look and in fact becoming a health risk. On the real, I didn’t like what I was looking at and knew a change had to be made.

I said to myself “If I was a woman I wouldn’t sleep with you”. My stomach was out of control and I couldn’t believe how I let myself go, having gotten comfortable with it and my size.  I couldn’t even look down and see my Lil Jimmy for years. In the past I said to myself “when I am able to rest the remote control on my stomach; it’s time to hit the floor and get busy”. I was long over due for change-change in my eating habits and life style. I even remember people teasing me about my man breast and that I needed to start wearing a bra.

God willing, I will never be Fat Boy ever again. Instead, I’m going to be Phat Boy. Today, the 210lbs has been sweated down to 179lbs and people look at me oppose to look away from me. People smile, speak and stare (I couldn’t remember this ever happening before). I still have 15lbs to go and nothing with stop me from achieving my goals.

(Cloud bubble to self) Now if I can only start doing sit ups to get those hard core abs that I’ve dreamed about and leave those potato chips alone.  It’s time to hit the floor…
