Losing weight is not just about exercising and healthy eating. If it were that simple everyone would have the body that they wanted. The key to losing weight is in your mindset and in your attitude.

ok I am a 23 yr old guy. when i was 17 and in high school, i was overweight. i am about 5'10 and used to weight around 200 pounds ( hardly any muscle..so i was pudgy). I went to college and started working out. 2 years into it, I got into the best shape of my life. i was 160 pounds and lean muscle but i still had that last layer of fat on my tummy. After that my workout frequency kinda tapered off and soon i gave up. It was then, that i started noticing stretch marks pretty much all over my body and i connected it with my weight loss. So that further put me off weight training. Long story short, now im about 185 pounds, ive lost a lot of my muscle and gained back some fat. I feel very unatheltic and my stretch marks are still there. I am looking for reasons to start working out again. I feel like if i work out at regular intensity for about 6 months, i can get back into the shape i was before and if i do it for a year, I can be ripped. Louis Dorman!!, you amaze me brother. U were bigger than me at one point of time. and now u are more ripped than I ever was. I was wondering if you could give me advice on motivating myself to become a gym rat again also about ur thoughts and experience with stretch marks , if any ( this really bothers me). Thank You again. I loved your article

"Confidence" sounded a whole lot like "how to be an ******* to women"..very odd article. "Now that youve accomplished your fitness goals, you have the right to be an egotistical jackass to women and they will still like you because of your outer apperance" yikes! true..if thats the kinda women you want..but still, yikes! everyone has their reasons for getting into this industry..but for some odd reason(call me diluted) i thought it was for more than that. lol..
