Destination Begin
I’ve lost over 250 pounds and changed my life radically many times over. I’ll be detailing my life as a child in a religious cult, growing up as a fat kid, losing weight, bariatric surgery, fitness hacks, meal and life planning strategies and real life, tough love cheering you on to achieving your goals and aspirations. I don’t pet. I am silly. I am fun. And I am simply ordinary. Which means I am qualified to convince other ordinary folks how to do the extraordinary.

Who are you? 22.03.2023 4:12
It’s interesting to try to describe yourself in terms of your treats in qualities, and say nothing about where you live, who you’re married, too, where you’re from, what you do for work. Give it a try.
