About me

My name is Jesse. I am 28 years old and obese! I wasn’t always this fat, but I have certainly hated myself and my body for almost as long as I can remember. I’ve struggled to lose weight in the past, both in healthy and unhealthy ways, but I have always been hobbled by low self-esteem. I’ve never been able to accept this body that moves and grooves and shines, even though it does amazing things, because I’ve been mired in self-doubt and fear.

As I’ve been making changes in my life lately, I’ve tried to stay aware of how I want to start loving myself now, not later at some ideal weight. I want to be healthy, and I want to love myself on the way there, too.

I’m building a beautiful life (a keen life!) through diet changes, becoming an active person, and learning to think healthy thoughts that affirm who I am and who I want to be. This blog is where I can work out some of these ideas and become a more positive person.
