“It doesn’t matter where I am today… because I am taking action to get me to where I want to be tomorrow.”

That quote is one that got me through my times of frustration, exhaustion and despair after I admitted to my self that Being Fat Sucks! and I wasn’t going to live another year of my life that way.

I had to change my way of thinking to change my life.

It worked!

Wow, the weather has gotten so nice the past few days here in Northern California and it takes me back to a time when the warm weather made me unhappy because I could no longer wear big baggie sweaters to cover up my fatness.

That’s why I am so excited about getting my book Being Fat Suck! out to other people who are so tired of the pain and shame that goes along with being fat.

Being Fat Sucks! but life doesn’t have to anymore!

While visiting Sydney and surrounding areas, I came to the realization that we are looked upon as the fattest country in the world!  Are they correct?

Look around… looks like it!

There is even a beer commercial for a new 2/3 less carb beer where they send the carbs that are no longer into the beer to people who really appreciate carbohydrate: Americans!

Now, don’t get mad about it.  They are absolutely right!  We are “fatties” and we eat junk and we don’t take care of our health.  That’s the truth and that’s what Being Fat Sucks!, my book coming out in less than a month, is all about:  Telling the truth.  It’s time to start being honest with ourselves and those around us for the good of those involved.

OK, maybe I am a little on edge… it’s because I spent 10 days there, enjoying the scenery, the people, the food and the wine and now I am being honest with myself that I have a couple pounds to take back off.  I exercised every day, but it was not enough to offset the calories in that wonderful Australian Shiraz or that Kangaroo filet.

Here’s the best part:  In the past, I would have rationalized those extra pounds and they would have gnawed away at my self confidence which could have sent me into a downward spiral of complacency and lying to myself about how I really felt till I was back up to 200 lbs and everything sucked again!

Not going to happen.  Being Fat Sucks! and I refuse to go there again!

I welcome your thoughts.

Bye for now!

I’m off to Sydney to see how the Aussie’s eat and how they take care of their bodies first hand!

Going to spend some time in Sydney first and then probably venture out to one of the other cities in that enormous country.

I’m anxious to see not only the country itself, but the people and how they live.  I have heard the people are really friendly and I aim to find out and report back.

Till then, remember everything we do is a matter of everyday, little choices we make and we are the cumulative result of those choices, either good or not so good.  Making better choices can make us a better person.

Be well!
