Honestly, there isn’t really much to tell. I’m a middle-aged white male that has a ton of weight to lose. That would be just over 200 pounds of absolute dead weight that does me no good, or affects my life in a positive way. Well…actually… I hope this blog becomes a positive thing from the struggles I have had for most of my adult life.

I will say, that even in the early stages of this labor of love, I’m discovering that my journey to this place started when I was young. When I look back at the signs, it isn’t a wonder I struggle with control issues. I’m not talking about being in control of a situation where others are involved. I can handle that just fine. I mean control over impulses that only affect me. Like, once I make my mind up to do something, it is all or nothing. Which can be positive and negative. Hopefully, we will get to that during this process.

I also want to explore the idea of whether or not we become who we are because of our DNA, and the nature we were inherently born with, or is it because of how we were nurtured (or raised)…this is where I really want to find a balance.

Let’s see what we discover!
