Peter's Story
A brief history of my life...
Well I have been plagued with being overweight most of my life,
but I was athletic at the same time as a child. I played hockey,
golf, and baseball. When I hit 16 and started driving a car and hanging
around with a different crowd.. things started to change...
Drive thru's and parties were my life now... slowly but surely I began
changing for the worst. 300lbs, 400lbs, almost 500 lbs I decided to
try and get this fixed before I was dead.
I went into a hospital program and was able to lose ALOT of weight.
Down to 261 lbs actually. Big weight loss... However it didn't feel right.
I was doing a lot of cardio and eating sparingly.
Fast forward 6 months later, I was eating again, not working out.
Stress, family issues and any other excuse I could come up with
was causing me to revert back to my ways. Back up to 480 lbs and feeling terrible.
I then decided to do something again. This time I wanted to get fit
and stronger. I decided to start training with my friend Curd Hos.
With Curd I have learned to power of eating protein and doing intense
bootcamp style workouts. I also have added strength training to the mix,
hoping to one day compete in a powerlifting meet.
I have dropped to 349 in 1 year and gained a substantial increase in
muscle volume. I will be posting my daily workouts and thoughts.
Here a great little glimpse into the trials and tribulations
of being over 400 lbs.
Read on.
“Little Chairs”
Well I weigh 330 lb’s.
First thought in your mind is probably…wow you let yourself go.
Let me tell you how I arrived at this weight.
So let’s rewind the clock back to just over 1 year ago. The date
is December 1st 2008. I weigh 440 lb’s. I am diabetic, I am
hypertensive to the point of needing 4 pills a day to try and keep
my blood pressure in check. I am miserable, I can barely walk the
half block to and from my parked car and I am in constant pain.
I decided then and there that I had to do something. I have 2 young
children and a wife that needed me to last beyond the year or 2 that
I had left, if I was lucky.
I went and visited my friend Curd Hos and asked him to help me.
He welcomed me with open arms and so began my life changing journey.
When I arrived it was an uphill climb to say the least. I needed to
work on my diet and my movement.
I wanted to explain to you about some of the challenges I endured
being 440 lb’s. I can’t fully explain what is like being the way I was
to someone that has never had a weight issue, but maybe I can shed
some light with some things that a heavy person can relate to…
I had to call ahead to restaurants to ask if the seats had arms or not…
Little chairs were the enemy. I usually stayed away from strange social
places anyhow, since the embarrassment of arriving and finding
little chairs was a scary prospect. I didn’t go to the movies or sporting events,
I couldn’t fit! When going to the mall I had to sit at each bench to catch my breath.
I had to cope with the snickers and comments from little kids and older.
I could hear them all. I ignored it. I could not sit on the ground, if I did;
I would have needed help to get up. This was another scary thought…
What if I slipped on ice??? Clothes were expensive and embarrassing to buy…
“Do you have that is a size 6X?”
I hope you get the picture. It was terrible…
Let’s fast forward to now… February 2010.
Well I have been eating smart for over a year now and working out religiously
with Curd and the Hos-tyle conditioning group.
I have lost 110 lb’s and feel great to say the least.
Let’s take a look at the differences in my life today…
I am no longer diabetic. I take 1 pill for hypertension. My blood work
came back 100% healthy.
I am doing full intermediate/advanced boot camps and cross fit training
3 times a week.
I am doing power lifting training once a week.
Can I get off the ground now??? Well I can get up off the ground like
lightning. I can do 100 push ups, I can do 100 crunches, I can do 100 leg lifts,
I can do 100 band presses, and that’s just in 1 workout!!!
Do I stray away from the malls now? Well actually I could run through them
now if I chose too. I being my mother to them and she shops for hours…
No issues for me, I don’t remember how those benches felt.
Do I call for chair sizes now? Absolutely not! I have been to lots of movies,
comfortably I might add. I went to a rock concert in one of those little seats,
and was comfortable!
So I am alive and feeling great. I am stronger than I have felt in my life.
When people ask me to help them move or do manual labour, I am the
first one there!
So let me ask you one question??? When I tell you I weigh 330lb’s, do you
still think, boy he let himself go??
