My name is Jason and I am a professional writer who has found his writing habits over the years have led to a 75 lb weight gain over the last four years (yipes). Well, actually not over four, I technically gained most of it back one summer when I became depressed was hard at work on a novel and reintroduced fast food every meal every day for three months.
I have realized it is now or never time for me. I am 27 and 5'7 and 227 when I should be around 145-150. So, thus begins my journey. I am working with a medical weight loss program locally. I am not going to discuss what I am doing as the opinions on it will be quite divided and I am not in the mood to begin defending myself. I am eating healthy and I know the advantages/risks.
Anyway, hope this will end up being a supportive place to log, blog and discuss health, fitness and nutrition. I refuse to be among the obese percentage of America any more!
