Lunch with a friend...Finding the Man of my Dreams

While talking with a friend at lunch....

Dave works in my area - he and I are similar except he's hot.  :-p

While talking about body image and whatnot, he said something to me about ME working to become the man of MY dreams.  I was taken aback - I don't DREAM of men.

True, but I dream about ME.  I'm (arguably) a man.    What Dave told me, in essence, is to create me into the  man I've always dreamed I will be. 

So - here's the man of MY dreams - ME...2 years from now:

In my dreams I am fit - emotionally first, then physically. 

Physically:  In my dreams I weigh about 190lbs and can bench press 225 a couple times.  In my dreams I am good at basketball again.  I'm always picked 3rd in pick-up games.  In my dreams I have No reservations being 'skins' in shirts and skins.  I wear my size 32 waist jeans (am 36 now) losely and properly.  In my dreams I can open every pickle jar ever given to me.  

Emotionally:  In my dreams I'm less emotionally available.  In my dreams I stand up against those who view my sensitivity as weakness.  In my dreams I don't fall in love so quickly.  In my dreams I am rock-solid, unfazed by circumstances.  In my dreams I'm confident - but not proud - of how I look.

When I have those mastered I'll be somebody worth being.

So - Pei Wei for lunch today. I feel TERRIBLE now.  I feel nasty and fat.  I had about 1/3 of my dish.  I feel like i've been eating way too much - but when I log my meals on MyFitnessPal.com - I'm still under 1000 calories for the day.   People tell me I need to eat more than my current ~ 800-1000.  Eating MORE will help me lose weight.  Blah...I don't believe it.  But I know they are probably true.  I'll keep my focus on 'about 1500' per day; coupled with my excerise, I 'should' start losing again.  'Should'.
