A Mission Statement


Okay, so what’s all this about? Here goes. Ever since I was little, I’ve felt like I should have been born a woman. KIDDING!!! Just havin a laugh you sick bastards. However, this does have something to do with furry man boobs. What I’m doing, what I’m about to do, is give The Fat Kid Chronicles a new mission statement. Here it is.
The Fat Kid Chronicles will now be the story, the 100% true and complete story, of my quest toward a healthier, stronger, faster, smarter, leaner, lighter version of Mike Mergo. In addition to that, I’d like the blog to be a resource/forum/idea board for folks out there like myself who are looking to take control of their health, their body, and their destiny.  
At this point I imagine most of you out there reading this are thinking one of two thoughts. 1) “This is great, Mergs! I wish you all the best and want you to get healthy, sir!” 2) “No way in hell you’re gonna make this happen you poor fat shit. I’ve heard this before too many times. Now go grab the Queso Dip and settle in for a late showing of Return of the Jedi, chubs.” If you’re thinking the first thought, thank you. If you’re thinking the second thought, you’re a prick, but I can’t say I blame you. If you’re thinking them both, then you’re me.
I’m not exactly sure how I’m going to make this happen. I’m not even sure where to begin at this point. What I do know is this; the road ahead will be very long. It will be a great journey taken over lots of very small steps. This post and the last one are pretty much the first two steps. It feels good taking them and I’m hopeful for what may come once many, many, many more small steps are taken. Right now the question is, “What’s the next small step? Then, what’s the one after that? And the one after that?” It can’t be just writing posts about what I intend to do. If people got fit simply by talking about what they intend to do, I’d be Ryan Gosling fit. Talk is never enough though. I need movement. I need action.

What I need is a plan.

  1. Yay, Mergo! You can totally do this! If I can start, you can start! It's tough, it's rewarding, it's a long, long road but worth every step! A blog is a great way to keep yourself accountable for your goals. You can look back and see how far you have come, keep track of goals or ideas for new workouts and people like me can push you! :-P Good luck, man! -Kymmie
