To Darren first: I dont plan to do this short term. I just called it diet'ing since its easier to get people to understand what I want to do
The source of alot of my 'problems' has been my self image so I dont to make this short term at all

When I feel like it, I can slim down fairly easily with some hard work and consistency. Key word? Consistency. One time I drank nothing but water for an entire week (it was TOUGH) but I felt like...twice as good at the end of the week than I did at the start. Make sure you've got some muscle on you...that helps big time.

The soda I will be cutting back drastically. I've been taking a bottle of pop to work each day since when your doing inbound sales, you needs the liquids but when the bottle is empty I bring it home and fill it up with water and throw it in the fridge or something and on Lunch walk over to apt, eat a lunch and bring back a water but I think I'm gonna overhaul that and just bring 2 bottles of water to work (one partially frozen, other not or just 25% frozen). Then on lunch swap them for 2 more.
I plan to mainly lose the "belly fat" first of all since it stands out the most obviously
but I dont want to just stop at that. My arms still have some muscle on them but its not a huge amount but its noticeable.
For me at work the way it is right now, I unfortunately have to sit quite alot. Heck, when they changed my schedule recently I have ALOT of days that are 10am-10:30pm. Granted, I may pace back and forth a little more often but not too much to make people look at me weird
But on days off I may take a small walk or whatever to "get used" to what I will probably be doing for a long time hopefully.

I think overall, I'm going to try to "get rid" of the foods in the house that are more fattening or calorie'ific or whatever. I have a few tv dinners and whatnot I just throw in the microwave on lunch but can just as easily make a sandwich and maybe drink a glass of milk or orange juice for lunch. But right now I dont want to just "trash" the food I just bought a few days ago before deciding to start doing what I should have a long time ago
