I Resign From Being Fat

The chart shows that over the past two years I've been gaining weight. I was in
my peak physical condition about six years ago, when I was 82 kg.

Tomorrow I'm starting yet another diet. I'm not exactly HUGE, although my fat tummy has seen better days. When I weighed myself this morning I was 98.4 kg (216 pounds), which is too much for someone who's 183 cm (6ft 1') tall. According to the Body Mass Index I come in at about 29.4 points and everything exceeding 25 points is considered to be "overweight", while those how exceed 30 points are "obese". That's not where I'm heading (dear god, please!).

How Did This Happen?
Well, I've got a desk job, I'm not active enough and I eat too much. Possibly it's also due to the fact that I've got two young children and when you're trying to be a decent parent you don't have a lot of free time. To top it off, I damaged my legs with long-distance running (tibia stress fractures). That didn't help. The result: The Elephant Man in the making.

What's the Problem?
My primary problem is sugar and carbohydrates. I LOVE carbs. I stuff carbs into my face like there's no tomorrow. Before you know it, you're fat. FAT. All of the sudden them skinny jeans make you look ridiculous. Of course you can try to blame it on the fact that you're not "young" anymore (I'm in my late thirties). But the fact of the matter is I'm fat. Well, chubby, at least. And I've decided that I'm not going to be fat -- I mean chubby -- any longer.

So What's This Site About?
On this site I'm going to blog about the results I've seen from the low carb diet I'm starting tomorrow. I'm inspired by an Icelandic book I've read on the diet and a book called The 4-Hour Body. I'm going to weigh in every day and share the results with you. Since I'm thoroughly embarrassed for being a fatso, I'm not going to disclose my name. For now.
