One soul’s journey
It’s time. I’m just done. Have I said that before? Yes!
A million times. Guess, this makes a million and one.
I steadily started gaining weight in my early 20’s. As my waistline expanded, my will to give a shit grew thinner and thinner. I completely lost track of who I was. Or maybe I never even knew who I was in the first place. I can tell you that I never wanted to look like a fat lump. I’ve lost and gained significant amounts of weight at least three times in my life. Every time I got close to my goal, I would inevitably find a way to fuck it all up. This diary is my way of staying accountable, and hopefully getting to the bottom of why I fall flat on my face when success comes into view. Like the quote below says…it starts with one step. This diary is that step.
The journey of 1,000 miles begins with one step.
– Lao Tzu
The Trifecta to success
One of the things I’ve learned about life (in general) is that it’s important to focus on more than just the physical aspect of any journey. You have to look at it as a whole experience. Mind, body and spirit. One area affects the other, affects the other. It’s something I haven’t tried yet in my previous (and numerous) attempts to get healthy and happy with myself. Maybe this approach will be the key to finally beating that demon down, once and for all.
mind
A big part of any journey is having the mental ware-withal to go the distance. This requires constant introspection. If I had a handle on my thoughts and feelings, I wouldn’t be a big fat mess, and you wouldn’t be reading this blog.
body
Of course, the very nature of what I’m doing will involve the body. The subject matter of these entries is all about practical application of that knowledge, to help me work on remodeling this temple of flesh that I walk around in on a daily.
spirit
Digging deep to get to the bottom of my weight struggles isn’t going to be easy, emotionally. While I don’t feel like I have mommy or daddy issues that caused me to ballon out of control… I guess you just never know until you go there.
