Need To Take Control

Hey all, I’m Brian. A recent doctors visit really made me say “Oh *kitten*, need to take control Brian”.

I have a lot going for me; beautiful wife, great job, awesome family and friends.

I’ve struggled most of my adult life with my weight and I’m just tired of it. I need to get my act together.

I’ve lost 80 lbs in the past, right before my wedding, but gained it all back and those pounds brought friends.

So here I am. Started July 21st just changing my diet and walking a mile a day. (for now). Lost 25 pounds so far but a long road ahead.

Time to take control.

    Best of luck.
    If you can, maybe figure out why (in terms of behaviors and mental/emotional attitudes) you gained back the weight you lost, because you don't want that to happen again.

    Yes, that is a great question. I would say there is no “reason” but perhaps I’m fooling myself.
