Men Help to Sharpen Men

Hello!  My name is Carlton aka Chefcorky.  The Chefcorky comes from almost 20 years as a baker/chef.  Which is part of the reason why I am here.  I love food!  I love the flavors, the textures, the aroma...I love everything.

But the real reason for why I'm overweight is because of alot of issues from the past.  I've spent the last 20 years trying to heal my spirit and heart.  I've always had a pretty good life but there's always been a corner of my life that is a sad place. 

So for me, in order to lose the 100+ pounds I need to, I have to take care of my spirit along with planned meals, motivating myself to exercise and WILL POWER!  I'm hoping to connect with others like myself to stay focused. 

I've lost weight before back when I was in college.  I got down to about 150 lbs and a 32 inch waist.  I'm big boned so I look much better with a 34-36 inch waist and probably about 170 pounds. 

Over the years, I fed that empty whole while I was feeding my love for food.  Which is my current challenge.  I've eliminated ice cream from my diet as well as desserts in general.  My weak spot is fried foods.  Plus, I just love food in general...Italian...Chinese...Thai...the flavors are fantastic. 

I'm looking to connect with other men who are struggling with motivation and willpower.  I recently created a contract with a few supportive friends and my Dr. as a way of keeping me honest and focused.  If any other men are wanting to connect with someone to communicate with once a week, I'm open to it. 

Thanks and good luck to all of us!
