I've lost 4.5 lbs in one week. I am damn proud. I am Hammer AZA's advisor. I am damn proud. I am looking into new schools to go to after I didn't know what I was doing at Western. I am damn proud. I am living my life the way I should. I'm giving back to myself what I deserve. I am learning more about myself with the time I have off and what I am doing with it than I ever learned about myself in school. I want to go back to school to realize what I want to do with my life.
I miss my friends at school, but I'm becoming better friends with people at home. I feel that this is the time of my life to really make something of myself and I am. People call me "ballsy" to quit eating fast food and my friend quit smoking and write about it. And if you've ever seen my balls you would know I AM BALLSY!
The past couple of days my friends have eaten food in front of me that I can't eat and I haven't really cared. My favorite was when my mom called me to pick her up food. I was at seven eleven picking myself up some bread and cottage cheese (no I didn't eat them together), and my mom asked me to get her a pizza. It was funny because I didn't have one craving for it. I really didn't mind if she ate the pizza in front of me. I didn't mind if the pizza fell under my nose right next to my mouth. I still wouldn't have eaten it. I feel like if I want to I really have will power. I never knew I had such will power before. But I know I will be using it a lot the next few months.
Always remember what you do with your life is your choice. I might have taken a few steps the wrong way but I feel that I am back on my path. I might slip and scrape my knee, or I might fall into a pit of poo throwing monkeys but I will be able to say that I went down the right path and I am better for it. My life is good right now and I want to thank Gertz for agreeing to this bet because that only made my life better. Damn proud.

The bet continued
Again with my lucid dreams about fast food. If any of you know me, you know that I love chipotle. (By The Way if you don't know me I don't know why you'd be reading this). So I had my second fast food dream. Chipotle the greatest meal in a bowl or burrito that I've ever eaten was my dream. It was so detailed and down to each bite that I take. Eating chipotle to me is like an art. You have to do it so completely right or you shouldn't do it at all. I have gotten friends addicted, and I am probably part of the reason they do so well. But for anyone that has stock in Chipotle right now, I would take it out for the next year. With me going on a diet like this Chipotle will surely suffer.
I am feeling great also. I recently was told by Gertz to watch a movie about an all natural diet, where people that have diabetes eat all natural food that is never cooked and see how they change in a month. I watched people go from having blood pressures as high as 400 down to around 120. Something quite insane. Although I will not be doing that extreme of a diet, I really realized a lot about how bad my diet was in the past, and how much it will be changing in the future so I can be healthy. People have told me to help me, but I never listened. I know I will listen now. I am starting off slow and getting salads pretty much everywhere I go. I feel that I am doing a great job and I am very glad we decided to make this bet.
To say the least it is very interesting to learn so much about yourself in such a short time just by realizing what food you eat. I'm up for any comments and questions and any help you can send out to me just do it. Everyone can use help and I know I'm one person not afraid to ask for it. The past is history, the future's a mystery, and today is a gift that is why we call it THE PRESENT!

The Bet Begins
Hi, I'm Dan Wolff, and if you didn't already know I am in a bet. THE BET-My friend, Josh Gertz quits smoking; Cigarettes, Cigars, Tobacco, Hookah, and Weed. While I, Dan Wolff quit eating fast food. Fast food includes, going out to a restaurant and I am restricted to foods like a salad, a chicken breast, or fish.
Now to the good part, the bet is 1 year, $500, and it starts February 17, 2009. I know what your thinking already, "dan, that's not even fair he has to quit everything, and you only have to quit a few things?" Truthfully, I don't care what you think, but also fast food was my life. I ate unhealthy all the time and now it is time for a change. If you know me your thinking, "wow this is way too serious for Dan," and "I don't want to read anymore". But if you stop now your going to miss out on a journey to help me.
All my friends know me as the funny, friendly, fat guy. That is going to change. I am definitely not going to be friendly anymore. To start off, this bet started with a few friends of mine where they made almost the same bet. No cigarettes vs. no fast food. The bet was a little flawed but I watched it work out for the both of them at the time. I told this to Gertz and he said well I'm going to Israel where people smoke a lot so I'm not going to do that. Recently he changed his mind and that is what started the bet.
Starting out a bet is fun as long as you don't lose. The night the bet started I fell asleep. Next I lost the bet......Well not literally but in my mind I did. I started dreaming that I was at McDonalds and I was eating a chicken sandwich. At this time I want to interrupt myself and tell you that the only time I ever enjoy McDonald's is when I am drunk and can't really taste it. While I was eating the sandwich I said, "Wow, I just lost the bet". Now you know that when you dream of losing the bet there is a problem.
Now I wish the best of luck to Josh and I hope we can both pull this off. But right now I have to poop. Thanks everyone for reading this and I will hopefully update once a week. If you have any ideas for me or my writing just leave me a message.
