Marines Are Human Too
You can follow my sometimes hilarious, oft-times, heart-breaking journey to lose two-hundred pounds and attempt to fit back into that Marine Corps blouse hanging in the closet. I know I am crazy to try but it keeps me focused. Along the way I will talk about what I ate, where I got it, how it was cooked and how I was able to do away with sugar and bread. How I deal with alcoholic beverages (a Marine staple but I still can't drink Pabst) and about how I was finally able to change my eating habits for good. If you see any part of yourself in me then maybe I can help you.
Marines are no different than any other human beings when it comes to weight control, some never have a problem and some, like me, fight it all their lives. The Corps says you can't weigh more than they say you can or else and while you are on active duty PT keeps you from going over the top due to bad eating habits.
If you don't get the PT or if you get out and don't excercise trouble will be coming. Along the way I will share my story and the stories of other Marines that I admire – real hero's. I hope that you enjoy your visit and welcome your comments.
