I recall reading about some study done that said that fat people are more likely to “appear” cheery and upbeat, since they had to mask their true feelings of sadness, depression, and disappointment. At the time I thought of a close friend of mine which has been obese his whole life. This guy is the […]
I doubt it does, since it’s such a tiny insignificant part of the human body. This is a continuation of yesterdays post about my come back from appendicitis. I had to stay an extra day in the hospital just because my blood was still a bit contaminated. It took me a couple of days, but […]
It was unintentional. I wasn’t trying to be a tough guy. I recommend that if you feel any odd pains to go check yourself out ASAP. It started as a small pain on the right side, which I shrugged off as being a mild strain from having worked out. The pain was bearable and rarely […]

Tired of the gym, tired of days where it seems like more work to get up and go do the workout than the workout takes? Well, sounds like you’ve lost your motivation. Take a 2 minute break, walk to the bathroom, and look at yourself in the mirror. Don’t like what you see do you? […]
I have decided to implement a small change. I started taking a fat burner supplement. It’s supposed to be be an herbal formula that is designed for “optimal diet and energy.” I’m going to be the judge of that. I have a few bottles of fat burners and metabolism boosters to choose from, but I’m […]
Now that Thanksgiving is over I can move on with my life. lol. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I only scarfed down two servings and called it a night. Its been a while. Now I can focus on my diet and weight loss again. In today’s Fatso Friday installment I […]
I know, it’s a bit dramatic. In my defense, I was watching 300 and that line in it is so damn good that I had to use it. So today is the big day, Thanksgiving, or as my English challenged relatives say, “San-given.” It’s the day when a bunch of the family that doesn’t normally […]
College Football Underdogs News flash folks: the Kansas Jay Hawk Collegiate Football team is within striking distance of a national title! It’s amazing what getting first downs as often as Mike Tyson cops coke will do for the success of a football team. It’s not rocket science my friends. Follow this formula: matriculate the ball […]
My current weight loss so far has been 42 lbs. in a bit over three months. Is that good? No, it’s not good enough. But I will take it. My weight loss journey thus far has been a difficult one. I have learned a lot about myself and why I am this way. I sometimes […]
As turkey day nears, I can’t help but think about all the delicious food that will be made available to me. Thanksgiving Day is the second of the the 4 Big Holidays that are a dieter’s nightmare. I am hoping that I can manage to control myself, especially since it has been so long since […]
Yes, I have three sponsors at the time of this writing. They are: John Chow, Instant Coding, and Orbit Nutrition. I have finally managed to put the finishing touches on the site. So far everything works and looks good. The last step was getting up the advertising page and then promoting the fact that I […]
Why won’t I write down what I eat? Simple: I want to live a normal life. I don’t want to be one of those folks that’s writing down every single thing they consume and writing down every single thing they do. No sir. I refuse to. It may work for some folks, but it won’t […]
Fatso Friday is my new weekly (on Friday’s) random lazy post. Each week I will make a lazy fatso post. It’s not lazy in the typical way of being lazy. I will still be writing the same amount, or more, as I usually do and I will also be putting the same effort into what […]
I have come to the conclusion that I may be subconsciously afraid of weighing under 300 lbs. It’s been a while since I weighed under that elusive number. I have actually lost track of how long it’s been, but I know it’s been a long time. I started realizing this yesterday when I sat down […]
Today I am feeling a bit better. Thanks to everyone who sent me emails and made comments. It means a lot and helped me realize that I need to get my act together. Although I feel better, I just wasn’t feeling like posting too much today, so I leave you guys with some fellow bloggers […]
This day finds me in a downtrodden state. Over the last few days I have been in a downward spiral of depression and unhealthy eating. I am not sure what triggered it and can’t seem to get out of it. I feel trapped. I need some mental assistance from my fellow fitness brothers and sisters. […]
Last night I rented the movie SiCKO by Michael Moore. I had heard about it a few months ago but didn’t think to go see it at the theater. I usually deem movies DVD worthy then wait for their release to rent them via Block Buster Video. Anyway, I knew what it was about and […]
A few weeks ago I decided to go ahead and get the Fat Man Unleashed redesigned. I enlisted the services of Unique Blog Designs. I decided to go with them after seeing the work they have done for other blogs that I visit. Nate was very cool and personable throughout the entire process. We went […]
This video is from late August 2007 when I started jogging on my treadmill. It’s so weird seeing myself not being able to complete a little 10 minute jog on the treadmill. I was jogging for a minutes when I started feeling some pain. I am happy to say that those days are over and […]
UPDATE: I actually have the printed assembly instructions manual that has illustrations and a parts list. If you need it, download it here: Fitness Gear Ultimate Smith-Functional Trainer Assembly Manual for Smith Machine Squat Rack. I recently received one of the best gifts I could have hoped for. It was a Fitness Gear Ultimate Smith […]
I often think back to how happy I thought I was during my non-healthy living days. I would always feel happy when I ate food, or did whatever I wanted. It was all a cover up though. Recently an online friend of mine sent me this email, he gave me permission to post it. I […]
I have officially received over 1000 spam comments. Luckily I enabled Askimet early on and it has blocked a majority of them. I guess my blog is not only helping me lose fat, but spam too. Darned spammers boil my blood. That’s pretty darned sweet if you ask me. I have also broken the 1000 […]
I was cleaning up the computer in my garage when I came across some pictures I took back in January of 2005. I remember this day vividly. It was a few days after my birthday and I had decided to end the self hatred and fattening of my life and body. I told myself that […]
It’s that time of the month where I take some snapshots of my fat body and post them for your viewing displeasure. Well, I took the pictures and after looking at them decided that there was no point in posting them since there wasn’t any significant physical visual change from last month. I know, I […]

It’s the start of a period of holidays towards the end of the year that can be brutal on a person with a diet. It starts with all the darned candy and chocolates for Halloween. Then it continues with the Thanksgiving feast of all feasts, which is followed by a Christmas family meal. That meal […]
A while back John from John Is Fit decided to nominate himself for a 2007 Weblog Award in the Health Issues blogs section. I copied him and nominated myself too. We were trying to see if one of our blogs would be chosen as a finalist amongst all of the commercially huge doctor, health blogs […]
As most of you already know, yesterday was Halloween in the U S of A. We went trick-or-treating and managed to collect a ton of candy and junk food. Of course my daughter wants to eat all of it, but this time around she wanted to share her candy binge with me. That’s were things […]
