Scott Allan’s World

It hit me today. I am disgusting.

Luckily I have friends at work who are more than eager to agree with my assessment. At baseball practice the other day, someone commented on how my shirt really showed off my man boobs and that I’ve got that Phil Mickelson look going. I need to go on a diet and start working out again. Summer is just 2 months away and my 40th birthday is 4 months away. I refuse to go through the summer and into middle age looking like this (no you won’t get any before photos). Last year I did Nutrisystems and lost 20 lbs. That worked ok but is over $300/month and you still have to buy additional food on top of that. I have gained back 30 lbs of course. This year I am doing the Atkins low carb diet. I’ve done this one many times in the past and it’s really the easiest one for me to stay on. Any diet that includes all the meat you can eat is ok with me. The hardest part of starting a diet is ignoring all the bad food I already have at home. For example, I had planned to have a turkey sandwich on wheat today for lunch and it seems such a waste to throw that bread out, but it’s all about discipline. I went to the store and bought lettuce instead. Sandwiches just aren’t the same on lettuce but I have to remember the big picture.

Why am I blogging about this? To shame myself into staying on this diet. I encourage you all to call me fat names or whatever it takes to keep me on this.
