If I had to run for my life, I wouldn't make it. I probably wouldn't even bother. I would just lay down and submit to death's chase because I am physically incapable of running more than twenty seconds.


Fat is something I have always been. I was a 150 lb third grader, terrified of the class weigh-in because my weight was twice some of my peers'. I was a 190lb sixth grader who had twinkies thrown at her and a 220lb freshman who was "oinked" at in the high school hallways. ...

Now, I'm an obese American adult. Not only do I eat fast food and carb-and-salt-laden favorites daily, I eat at least twice the amount any normal unhealthy diet would require.


I can throw a million excuses at you. I've convinced myself many times that I'm fat because there is some sort of hole in my soul I'm trying to fill up or because I was raised that way or because food just tastes so good..but the bottom line is, I'm a fat, lazy American pig.


And aren't we all.


My current goal is to get to the gym every day but Sunday. I plan on doing this in the morning, before work and spending an hour. I will probably divide that into 45 minutes for cardio and 15 for weights. On top of that, I want to attend water aerobic classes at the gym three times a week, an hour session each time.
