I just wanted to take a minute to say thanks to everyone who has posted questions and replies.
Just two months ago I had no ambition to do anything. I just took life day by day and rolled with the punches. I was tired from the time I woke up to the time I went to bed. I got tired of being tired. I looked like crap and felt like crap everyday. The weekends were just an excuse for me to drink myself and my problems away. I knew I was going nowhere so I decided to change.
One month ago I went ahead and forced myself to make a change. It wasnt easy it took a lot of dedication. The changes at first were simple. I traded soft drinks for water. I traded super sized burgers and fries with fruits, salads, and lean meats. Thats all I did.
After going through sugar and caffiene withdraws and headaches everyday for about a week I noticed a small change. I had more energy, I slept better, and I was generally in a better mood throughout the day.
Just as recent as two weeks ago I found this message board looking for ways to improve myself. I know this is generally designed for helping men become better with the ladies but I have found way more hidden in the text. I have found ways to make myself become proud of who I am. I have found ways to have more cofidence in social situations, not just with women but with all people. I have found ways that have helped me feel better physically and become more confident in myself. Basically, I have finally found how to become the person I have always wanted to be. I'm not there yet, but I have noticed many changes in my attitude, and this is only after two weeks.
Since visiting this board I started running daily as a way to burn of this excess energy I have found recently. At first I couldn't run a quarter mile without almost dying, but I forced myself to continue day after day. Even though it hurt and I wanted to go back to my lazy ways of watching tv until I went to sleep, I made my self keep going. Telling myself this will help in confidence building. It has. Now i'm up to two miles a day non stop. This is a huge improvement for me and I feel better than I ever have before.
Thanks to changing the ways I eat, drink, and excercise, there has also been a huge physical change. I didn't notice it until recently and only after I got a compliment from a co-worker. She told me that I look better and seem to be happier. She couldn't figure out why but she has just noticed a change. Now thats a huge confidence booster because I have never told anyone about the changes I have made, she just noticed them by herself.
So I just wanted to take the time to thank everyone here. Visiting this board everyday and reading the posts and articles gives me the encouragement I need to continue. I don't plan to stop doing what I'm doing because I still have a long way to go. Only now I know that there is hope.
