It Started With Facebook

As I tend to do throughout the day I was scrolling through my FB friends statuses when one caught my eye:
"Whoever says employers don't have the right to discriminate against hiring obese people have it completely wrong...they constantly have health issues and are always asking other people to do their physical work for them. It's so ridiculous."
Followed by the comment:
"Even if an overweight person shares the work load, they take more sick days, and raise insurance premiums. It negatively affects every aspect of one's life."
It took me all day to decided whether or not I was offended by the comments made.

Eventually I decided I wasn't.

It's my fault I am fat. Sure I could try and blame it on the environment or my genes, but the truth is I choose to sit my ass on the couch everyday, and stuff my face with Doritos.

After my self evaluation that night I decided the time was now to get fit, and stay healthy.

So I started this blog to help in my recovery process. I am accountable to the world, or more like the two people who may read it. My hopes with this site is to post my daily diary entries about what I ate, and what I did for a work out. It can be the creative outlet portion of the process.
