My Fat Journey

So I have been obese all of my life, I want to take it into my own hands. I recently started a Channel called Geek to Greek where I am going to post my vlog videos. There is footage of me the fat guy trying to exercise so if you want a laugh or just want to support me swing by and leave a like or subscribe If you want to see more.

Background story: I weigh about 310 pounds, I have lost 25 over the last few months and am trying to make changes in my everyday life. I currently attend school to become a software developer only a semester left. I started the channel in hopes that the community would push/force me to continue in the weight loss, Along with if there is any profits I could then use them to pay for a gym membership.

Edit: Just watched your video. If you can't do proper pushups, do knee pushups, it'll make it easier but you'll have to increase your reps. Also add my skype if you need any weight lifting / gym related questions, i'll help you out i've been going to the gym for almost 2 years. Wouldn't mind sharing some experience if you need it.

Nice dude, keep it up. Good to see you have enough confidence to post it here, I assume you'll progress well

lol get on my level, I'm 935 pounds. I think I'm going to die next year... Best 40 years of my life, shame I still haven't lost my virginity.

Edit: Seriously tho, good luck. You are very inspirational I'm subscribing so keep us all updated!

You got this bro! Keep it up!

Here's a workout routine that I highly recommend. It's pretty hard but if you stick with it, you'll pretty much be invincible.

100 Push-Ups
100 Sit-Ups
100 Squats
10KM Running (Around 6.2 miles)

>Repeat for 7 days a week

Keep at it @disturbed14x, great start. If you need motivation and help staying on track, here's something that personally helped me:

Sounds like you're having a tough time disturbed14x. That sucks. I've been there, so I kinda know what you're talking about. I've been in the ever circling vortex of self doubt, frustration, and loathing. It's no bueno. I know. If you don't mind lemme tell you a couple things. You can read em if you want, read em again later if you feel like it. And you don't HAVE to do that. You don't HAVE to do anything. But you get to choose.

Rule numero uno - There are no more zero days. What's a zero day? A zero day is when you don't do a single thing towards whatever dream or goal or want or whatever that you got going on. No more zeros. I'm not saying you gotta bust an essay out everyday, that's not the point. The point I'm trying to make is that you have to make yourself, promise yourself, that the new SYSTEM you live in is a NON-ZERO system. Didnt' do anything all day and it's 11:58 PM? Write one sentence. One pushup. Read one page of that chapter. One. Because one is non zero.

When you're in the super vortex of being bummed your pattern of behaviour is keeping the vortex goin, that's what you're used to. Turning into productivity ultimate master of the universe doesn't happen from the vortex. It happens from a massive string of CONSISTENT NON ZEROS. That's rule number one. Do not forget.

Rule number 2 - FORGIVE YOURSELF. I mean it. Maybe you got all the know-how, money, ability, strength and talent to do whatever is you wanna do. But lets say you still didn't do it. Now you're giving yourself shit for not doing what you need to, to be who you want to. Heads up champion, being dissapointed in yourself causes you to be less productive. Tried your best to have a nonzero day yesterday and it failed? so what. I forgive you previous self. I forgive you. But today? Today is a nonzero masterpiece to the best of my ability for future self. This one's for you future homes.

Last rule. Rule number 3, is the easiest and its three words. exercise and books. that's it. Pretty standard advice but when you exercise daily you actually get smarter. when you exercise you get high from endorphins (thanks body). when you exercise you clear your mind. when you exercise you are doing your future self a huge favor. Exercise is a leg on a three legged stool. Feel me? As for books, almost every single thing we've all ever thought of, or felt, or gone through, or wanted, or wanted to know how to do, or whatever, has been figured out by someone else. Get some books disturbed14x. (nonzero day, thanks younger me for typing it out) You know what else you could do? Read 7 habits of highly successful people. Read "emotional intelligence". Read "From good to great". Read “thinking fast and slow”. Read books that will help you understand. It gets you to the next level that much faster.

I hope I helped a little bit disturbed14x. One last piece of advice though. Regardless of whether or not reading this for the first time helps make your day better, if you wake up tomorrow, and you can’t remember the 3 rules I just laid out, please, please. Read this again.

And take care of yourself, remember, things always get better.

Source but slightly paraphrased

keep at that shit dude<3

Best of luck.

Good luck homie.
