  • Something To Make You Think.

    I am a returnee here to ADBB, I spent most of my time on the first BB (I can't remeber the name now) Before it was changed over to ADBB. But as I had mentioned in my opening post in the Nice To Meet Ya forums, i am back and ready to roll, i plan on staying on extended induction for most of the time. But ne who enough of my blabbing.

    I want to post this quote, it is from someone on the previous board, it makes me think and remember why i am doing this, why i am changing my life, i guess you could say it just helps.

    Here it is:

    "Anytime you feel like this way of life isnt worth it... just remember all
    those times you didnt go to the pool... felt bad at a club as your skinny
    friends were hooking up... tried on your favorite pants to discover they no
    longer fit... got out of the shower and frowned as you saw your shape in the
    mirror.... binged on taco bell and doritos after a full night of drinking...
    didnt go talk to a person you were attracted to because of your weight...
    refused to tuck in your shirts even though you wanted to because it showed
    your gut.... being out of breath from a couple flights of stairs... saw
    stretch marks appear... had to shop only in certain store because the main
    stream ones dont carry your size... etc...

    people, every single last one of us are doing this for a different reasons
    but we are tied together by one commonality... we were not happy with
    ourselfs and are sick of it..... and we are all finally getting off our
    asses and doing something about it....

    to those not yet started... you can and will suceed. it will not be easy,
    but nothing worth having in life ever is.... to those already well into it,
    you have my respect and ill be with you all soon enough... to those that are
    thinking of cheating... is it really worth going back to how you felt day in
    and day out for one fricken belly full of crap?
    there is no such thing as a night off induction... you go off, you start all
    over. you say "you dont want this WOE to take over your life"... you need to
    accept that this is your way of life now... obviously you are doing it for a
    reason... nothing you can eat will make you feel as good as the way your are
    going to look will... period...

    im whats called a partier come weekend times (until i find a little lady to
    kick me in the *** and settle me down)... ****, look at my pic... yes, thats
    a keg and im not exactly svelt if you know what i mean... am i having a riot
    in that pic? you bet your ***... but it was always temporary... a quick
    fix... then id get up feeling miserable about how i look and hating it...
    THAT feeling is why im die hard so far on induction... i dont ever want to
    be ashamed again... period... and so far this guy whose nickname was Captain
    Bourbon... hasnt touched so much as a pansy michelob ultra...
    do i still go out? **** yeah... 3 times this week... i STILL shoot pool... i
    STILL watch bands... i STILL go out on dates... i STILL hit happy hours... i
    STILL go play my guitar in the parks... i do EVERYTHING i did before... but
    what goes in my body is now restricted and for once in my life, im in totaly
    control of that.... and the results are happening... after only 12 days so
    far... they are happening...

    all it is is a mind set... eating no longer rules your life... you control
    your eating...

    ill get off my high horse/soap box now... i only hope this helped a bit...
    not that it matters... but i KNOW you can do it! "
    - Matt
