Adam Vallée's Weight Loss and Maintenance Blog

I just got a new battery for my scale, and I weighed myself.

Today’s Weight: 371 lbs
Time of Weigh in: 8:00 AM

This is my highest weight ever. I have never been this heavy and I don’t Intend to gain anymore weight, and I never want to be this heavy again.

(Just a warning to readers, I am an unorganized thinker, I start typing and just put whatever comes to my finger tips, I hope to clean up my act a little, I will try to edit this to make it more readable at a later time, just not right now LOL)

I realy couldn’t think of a good title for this post, it is the first post of a “new era” lol. I have just deleted all of my previouse posts, and I am starting over fresh.

I will use this blog to document my journey from Obisity to “Healthy” and how I found my way when I watched the Documentary “Fat Head” by …. (I watched it on Netflix, because it was on the main page as one of the Documentarys that might interest me.

I am 27 (at the time I write this) and I have been obese or overweight my entire life, I was born 10 lbs 9 ounces, and I was 6 weeks pre-mature, if that helps you paint a picture of my health.

I have been depressed since I realized that I was fat, and I thought I knew how to loose weight. I have tryed many diets that were considered healthy by my doctors and dieticians, however they mostly caused me to gain weight, so I took on the same mentality as everyone else, and I decided that I was lazy and that I was not getting enough physical activity, so I tryed that, and I still did not gain weight, I only got sick (in hindsight, I understand that it was because I was starving myself.

Back to depression I have taken medication for depression, on and off since I was 16 years old. I am also moody, as in I can become quite agitated for little to no reason, I sometimes wonder if I am Schizophrenic or Bipolar or something. When I discuss this with family I get remarks like, crazy people never admit they are crazy, so you are not crazy. (I know “crazy” is offensive, and trust me I am not trying to be offensive in any way.) I have discussed it with my doctor and he says that it is just normal, and that I should stop worrying about it.

This brings me to my next topic, Worrying aka Stress, and I do this a lot, and I have been told that it is my fault, I am the one who is worrying, and that I just need to stop worrying. I still haven’t figured that out yet, but Hopefully after this journey that I am embarking upon, I will find a way to lower my stress.

Okay Now we go back to the topic of “Fat Head”

I have just (literally a few minutes prior to posting this) finished watching this Documentary, and I am feeling quite upset, (sad and mad) as well as empowered by the content of the film.

First I’m upset because I feel like I have been dupped by fake science, and it came from a source which I was ingrained to believe was safe and reliable, the government. Now I am a political junkie, and I had an issue believing that what Tom Naughton had said about his government in the United States could be true about my Government in Canada, for about 2 seconds, and then reality smacked me in the face, Canadians are US Copy cats, we generally follow along with the “Mainstream” aka “American way” and The primary reason for this, well it’s money.

In Canada we have a food guide modeled after the American Food Guide, and for all the same reasons, we want to sell our commodities just as much as the Americans. Cash Cash Cash.

So I’m going to take all of the energy that I would put into being upset at the world and direct it into this blog, and into my life, I will start eating a Low-glycemic diet: and although I would love to call it the “Fat Head Diet” I don’t want to impede on Tom’s Intellectual Property, so I’m going to call it Adam’s “Fundamental Health Diet” or the “FHdiet” for short. This diet will consist of Higher Fat and Saturated far, from animal sources, or Coconut Oil (my favorite) and Lower Carbohydrates, and No Refined Sugar, No Artificial Oils (This is what I am calling Vegetable, Corn, Canola, and Soybean Oil.)

Simple enough, Well there will be extra stuff like taking vitamins, and working out, but this just about sums up the whole package.

I will outline what I eat each day on a food diary, and post it for everyone to see, even my Ice cream binges LOL.
