Welcome,
Before my coma, I was in good shape, had close friends, was in medical school...life was good.
If life was a choose your own adventure book, I never had to go back to make a new choice; I had made all the correct choices to get to where I wanted to be life. I was able to get to be on the right path in life was because I had resources to follow a path. It was pretty easy, no real mystery to it, do X, Y, Z will lead you result A...
I wanted result A and I was on the path to get result A.
Being in a coma kicked me off my path. Conceptually it would seem easy to get back on the path, but with no resource would give me any definite answers. I was given some, it depends and a lot of, maybe type answers. This lead to having to try a few different paths.
Going from Austin to Colorado to Connecticut, in what was essentially a desperation attempt to avoid surgery and regain some of the physical abilities I had before. I ended up going back to medical school 3 times in total. Twice I left due to medical need, 2 surgeries later,(correct double vision) I finally left the 3rd time because I had the notion medical school will always be there, but when will I have time to focus on me again? When I finish med school? when I finish residency?
Coupled with the progress on my own doing PT work and being told I could reapply anytime(after I did XYZ, which now has been revealed to be a lie, but that's another issue) I left.
I know how I was before the brainstem injury and now I'm watching my family get old and die and it makes me think of my mortality and I see my friends from medical school almost all have kids and are doing stuff in their lives and I find it just depressing that I'm still playing catch up.
Depression and/or boredom led me to date various females whom I'd never have given a second look at had I not felt shitty about my own life. This also led me to self-medicate myself with food to feel good.
One of my medical school professors told me, "Life is a journey, not a destination. It’s what happens along the way and how we handle it that’s important. You have done an astonishing job so far, given the obstacles you have had placed before you, and your tenacity is admirable. Given all that’s happened, is it appropriate that your goal has remained unchanged? There’s a Greek expression, “Panta rhei”, which is variously translated as “Things change”, or “You can never step foot in the same river twice”. Maybe it’s time to reevaluate?"
which was him being nice, but just irked me a little bit.
My life isnt the movie, "Doc Hollywood"('91)
Where, a young doctor causes a traffic accident in a small town and is sentenced to work for some days at the town hospital and ends up deciding not to become a plastic surgeon in the big city but a small town GP.
When my car got dented/totaled(I wasnt driving it and he wasnt drinking, as people ask as if that would make a difference to my situation? When asked that I started to ask, "if he was, would that mean I deserved this? or did you have a point?") I was still working to lay the foundation of my life. This detour doesnt mean I'm gonna move the goalposts and decide I want to go somewhere else or even nowhere else.
I excel at school, because I need the structure, I'm sorta lost without it.
This log is about making a dent in what I did to myself, the overeating.
My lowest bodyfat was ~9% at 168lbs in 2002(the year before my 1st eye surgery)
I was at 195lbs in 2009
I'm now sitting at 252lbs, roughly 34% bf according to trainer at my gym
which tells me I'm carrying about 160LBM. I'd like to carry this even after I drop to 175lbs
I start the easy/hard part of this log April 2nd. That's when I'll get the structure I need in the form of a contest to lose the highest percentage of body weight.
I was told on the winners of the contest lose, on average, 20% of bodyweight.
Since I want to end up at 175lbs, I'll need to start out at ~220lbs
25%+ lost should easily place me at the top and take home the top prize.
since I want to end up at 175lbs, I'll need to start out at ~245lbs which is good, since that's about what I am now.
70lbs in 70days(10 weeks) seems like a lot
that's why I'm going to go ahead and diet for the next 6 weeks, then salt+fiber+water right before the weigh in.
so how much fat can I lose in 10weeks? I have no idea, I've never tried anything as absurd as this, I need to get some DNP from dinitrio, before I start,I've only heard good things about his product, so I hope it doesnt kill me
