From my RL diary: Changing not only the eating habits
13 years ago
General
My height of 1,90m (6'2'') is an unfaithful friend. It hides the overweight I collected over the past years quite well. When I left school in 17 years ago I was a young man of 78kg (172lbs). I never considered myself being a lean person. But I sure was very far away from being fat.
Over the years I started gaining weight, without caring too much for it. After all my height hid this quite weill. And why should I be bothered by having to change the pant size ever now and then. I remember meeting an old friend I hadn't seen for some years and how it shocked me to see how plump he had become. But I was different, right?
I wasn't. I came to realize that, when we were shooting Abraxas-photos in late February this year (they are available here: http://www.furaffinity.net/full/7456408 ). I look pretty okay, no? Wrong. I have grown quite a belly. I had crossed the 100kg border to 102kg (225lbs). The only reason why you can't see this is because I selected only those photos for publishing where it is difficult to notice. I never had a good relationship to my body fitness. But now I felt really terrible.
Time for change. I knew my eating habits were... let's say... far from being healthy. I knew I wouldn't change to an ascetic lifestyle. But I could reduce my daily sugar intake drastically and eat more vegetables and fruits. I never cared for the little shop a local farmer was running to sell his goods. Now I became a frequent visitor. I never was a big fan of exercise. Now I started to work out for at least an hour per day.
The good thing is: After just a week your body starts to adapt to such changes at an amazing speed. You can feel and see how you start to build muscles and endurance, how your belly starts to shrink, how your face grows lean. It's an encouraging reward that drives you forward.
I've been doing this for 6 weeks now. My weight dropped to 92kg (203lbs) and even though I haven't changed much on first sight I can feel how my whole body has become much firmer. And I feel so much better already. And I will continue to walk this path.

Well, I think being a self centered narcistic show off helps a lot to keep it up. I love watching my self changing much too much to give up. And as I have a few other pony friends who are in amazingly good shape I don't want to be seen as the plump pony compared to them...
