Hello my name is Jarrett I use to partake in street fighting as a hobby in my youth, ended up joining the army out of high school. I was in great shape as an Infantryman. But after an incident in Afghanistan leaving me injured, I was discharged medically shortly afterwards. Since my my injury I have taken on a more peaceful approach to life by studying Buddhism as a way to enlightenment.
I started gaining weight and now I am at 209lbs. I am trying to lose weight.
I have tried to do it on my own and found that I cannot. I tried adding friends on here to help me through it and a few added me just to instantly remove themselves?
I cannot travel this journey alone. Friends welcome.
