Weekly update (Jan 30th)

Here's the first of what will become a weekly update....

The past few weeks, and honestly the last year, have been filled with a lot of ups and downs.  It was a challenging year for a variety of reasons including relationships (both personal, and romantic) financial issues, health concerns, just to start.  Which brings me to today, over the past few months I have had a tremendous amount of soul searching and trying to find out who I am, and what I want to be.  But honestly speaking, I don't think we ever know for certain.  I think life is a never ending battle but there's one thing I know for sure, I'm not happy.  I'm not happy with body, mind, and soul, and anyone who knows the real me knows that I have no problem admitting this.  I have decided to start this blog as an escape, somewhere I can come to vent, and let out the side of myself that very few people see.  The idea of having your thoughts read by friends, family, and strangers is somewhat of a scary and daunting thing, but one of the things I promised myself I would do this year is get out of comfort zone, so here we are.

Today, for the first time in a while, I woke up with an attitude that I was going to absolute crush this day.  I am so motivated and so ready for this tough road ahead and cannot wait to see the changes lets get into it shall we?

Here's to new beginnings

My names Jeff. I was born and raised in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

For my entire life I have struggled with weight loss. I’ve always been a positive person, and if you ask anyone who’s close to me in my life I would almost guarantee you they would would say the same.

Food consciously and unconsciously has always been somewhat of an escape for me, and for much too long of my life I’ve allowed it to cloud my judgement and have allowed it to consume my life.

I have often used my humour as a deflection from the depression I’ve battled, and over time I’ve realized that a large part of that has todo with my weight and the negative aspects that come along with it.

My hope is that through this blog, I’ll gain the wisdom, support, and inspiration of the thousands of people who struggle daily with the same things I struggle with.

With this, I’m going to gain you unfiltered access into my entire world throughout the long battle on the road to a healthier mind, body and soul.

I’m going to updating weekly with a variety of things including but not limited to (Progress photos, Weight loss progress, Goals, Meal plans, Inspiration, and also give an insight to the mental battles included in such a drastic lifestyle change)

They say that with any addiction the first step towards a recovery is admitting you have a problem, well, consider this part 1 on my confessions.

It’s going to be a long hard battle, but I hope to look back at this words one day and know that it was first the first day of the rest of my life.

No more excuses.

Let the journey begin.
