Today Is The Day It Starts

That's me. The massive body you see in the picture below.

My name is Jason James and today is the day I start to change my life. Today is the day that I start to believe in myself. Today is the day that I begin to ensure a longer, happier life with my family. I need to lose weight.

lose weight, need to lose weight


I wasn't always this size. It's a long story. Hopefully you will stick around to hear it because I can use all the support I can get.

I started this blog to give myself some accountability. I need that extra little push. I, like most over weight people, have been dieting most of my life. I have to watch everything I eat because I tend to over eat. The reasons? I have a few theories. With this blog I will have to answer to myself in my own words and I will have to answer to the disappointment of anyone that decides to come along with me on my journey. I'm ready for this.

This is what I am going to do in this blog. I am going to make myself and everyone who reads this a promise. I promise never to lie. That is the only way this is going to work. I need to be truthful to myself and to you. I have been lying to myself for so long now. I'm 29 years old. It's time to step up and help myself. No one else can do it but me.

During this journey I will record my daily routine, everyday, from the time that I get up till the time I go to sleep. I will note everything that I eat and when I eat it. Any and all exercises I do. My thoughts and my hopes and dreams. Recipes, the whole she-bang! My whole life will be on this screen and I encourage you to read it. All I ask of you is your support. Communicate with me, ask me questions, let me know you're there, tell me if you believe I am eating wrong or exercising wrong. Let me know what your thinking.

To know you're there will push me. The accountability will be the reason I succeed.

So today it begins. It is time to start my journey. I hope to see you at the finish line.

Sincerely,

Jason James
