You should always love yourself how you are. But what if you want to love yourself to better health and fitness? We can help!
I never do anything small. It drives my wife nuts. If I’m dieting, you better believe I’m doing a 48-hour fast. But if I’m not dieting? You better get to Papa John’s before I do or you’re not getting anything. Moderation just doesn’t work for me. So when I decided to get back into running …
There is almost nothing as amazing as taking a walk outside, taking a short run, or maybe just sitting in a park to breathe in the smells of nature. Unfortunately, if you are morbidly obese, you may have forgotten just how amazing all of these experiences can truly be. If you are only starting to …
The other day I was sitting in my oversized recline, staring at my belly and thinking, “Man, I sure wish I had more ways to incorporate obesity into my life…” Not actually. The last thing I want to do after being on my feet all day is to turn on a nice documentary that makes …
I don’t think a guy can go more than a couple of months without being asked how many pushups he can do. Especially if you are a fat guy (like me) and work with a super fit guy (like Dave). I guess I’m just easy pickings to make himself look better. Freaking Dave. I guess …
As a fat guy, I know how difficult it can be to find a community of people who understand me and my approach to life. There are, of course, many people who think they understand what it’s like to be fat. But they’re all personal trainers who tell me how bad it sucks to be …

Superhero movies are everywhere these days. Ever since the Marvel Cinematic Universe started to take off about 15 years ago, it seems like every month now that a new movie starring a comic book character I’ve never heard of before is getting its own movie. With a few obvious exceptions, it seems like the one …
Have you ever been outside in the cold and seen a larger person walking around with a T-shirt and no jacket? I’ve known people from Alaska who say that such a sight is almost a daily occurrence up there. I saw this the other day with a friend while driving to get a pizza. It …
Have you ever heard someone say “Losing weight makes you look younger”? I’ve heard that all of my life. I’ve seen it listed all over the place as a “health and beauty” tip for years. Not that I’ve ever tried it of course… However, recently I’ve also heard the opposite is also true, and that …
Ever since I was a kid, I’ve enjoyed the natural beauty and splendor of America’s National Monuments. As an adult, unfortunately, I have a fraction of the energy that I had back then. I’m also not big on long walks due to my weight. Thankfully, there are still a few National Monuments out there that …
