It's strange how the mind can suppress or just ignore what happens all around you, to you, and even to the mind itself. Small changes over the course of years can add up until eventually you force yourself to take notice.
In my situation this is my heath and weight. When I was 18 I was 5'11 and 140 lbs, and I looked too skinny and I thought I always would be. I ate, even for a teenage male, ridiculous amounts of food. Of course to my mind I figured why will I ever have to change? My teenage years ended I went through a few years of college and nothing had changed I had filled out a little, mostly muscle but was still 148 pounds roughly.
Over the years that number must have been going up but I never really paid attention to it though I don't know how. I can thank genetics for the fact that virtually every pound was added around my middle. I still can't say when I hit 160, 180 I do know I hit 200 in November 2011 and that was enough to shock me into realizing that I wasn't the skinny kid anymore. It could be far worse but it is complicated by a few issues such as diastasis recti (splitting of abdominal muscles) which causes my stomach to protrude even more than my weight gain would have done.
Well I have decided it is time to change that I have had multiple people I know do well by it, so I have purchased p90x as well as all the other equipment I would need to do the program. It should be arriving in 2 days so until then its just preparing. I will do a weigh in right before I start as well as photos and keep posting new ones through the program.
