Why I Got Started
Before I started I was living my life as I wanted. I was going to a lot of parties, drinking alcohol, and eating everything at any time. The biggest problem was every time I got home in the middle of the night I would consume even more food. I was taking the food with me to bed and while eating I was falling asleep; and as you know eating late at night is the best way to gain fat. However, at the time, I did not care.
Well, one day (the day when my girlfriend broke up with me) I realized that I do not want to live my life like this any more... I want to change. All my life I wanted to be slim (have a nice six pack), my goal was to loose weight and work on my belly.
How I Did It
I was always into body building so I already knew a few things. However to learn more I started to read about dieting, nutrition, and workout programs. Then I found the Bodybuilding.com web site. This certainly helped but the part that really got me going was my mind.
I started telling myself that it is possible and that I am strong enough to make it because it is what I want and is my decision. You have no idea how good this mental game worked. This is how I learned (and share with others) that the power of your mind can make your dreams come true. It did for me.

My Diet

My diet took about 3-4 months. I lost 35 lbs and made my belly look like I always wanted it to... a six pack!

If you can, get out of your social life during your time of dieting. That is what I did. I told my friends not to call me and that would plan on seeing them at least once a week to talk. Then when they saw me after my diet, it was a big WOW!!! This motivated me to work even harder on my body.
Remember, you will loose a little bit of weight everyday, but you won't see it. Then after a week or so the weight loss will become more noticeable.
