2023 was not a great year for me, and when it was over, I was so glad for a new start; that didn’t last long. I got some health news that I need to make changes this year. One of those changes is to get healthier than I am now. This means to eat better and lose some weight. This is not a New Year’s resolution but a lifestyle change.
One good thing about this is I can buy and wear some brands of underwear and gear I have always wanted to try. Being a bigger, beefy guy, it’s not easy to find stuff that fits, and I feel sexy wearing it. My body image, I would say, is at an all-time low. I wanted to make changes, but this news has solidified this for me in 2024; I like to think of it as a wake-up call.
I’m sharing this with you because you may see more about this on the blog and podcasts. I felt so defeated and like I was alone in this struggle. However, I reached out to some people I know and told them what was happening, and I have started developing a support system. Guys who can help me when I get a setback or share a success story. Some of these guys have been through a weight loss/fitness journey, so they know where I am coming from, while others have great information I will need on this journey.
I want you guys to know if you are doing something similar, you are not alone. I will discuss this on the blog and podcast and tell you what is happening, how I have succeeded, and the setbacks. Feel free to reach out if you are going through your fitness journey, and let’s share!
