Getting the Ball Rolling

Welcome to my new blog.  Here, I will focus on what I cheesily like to call me “health journey.”  For me, there are two distinct aspects to this journey: the PHYSICAL (including specifics on how I have lost the weight, etc.) and the PSYCHOLOGICAL (including how I decided to do it and how I’ve dealt with challenges).  While I will address both aspects, I think it’s important to point out up front that I don’t believe there is one approach that is right for everyone.  My brother is a film critic, and he and I often have much different tastes in movies.  So when I read his reviews, I never pay much attention to whether or not he liked the movie.  Instead, when he has done his job well as a critic, he gives me enough information to take a good guess as to whether I will like it.  I hope it is the same with me here — as I tell you what I did and what has worked for me, I hope to convey the deeper principles that will help any readers develop an approach that will work for them.

As a quick bit of “who is this guy?” info, my name is Jeff Snider, and I’ve lost 103 pounds in the past nine months, with another 40-50 to go.  As I’ve had more and more success, I’ve had a lot of discussions with friends, neighbors, and co-workers about how and why I’ve done it.  My goal is to at least cover most of those topics here.  After that, either I will have run out of things to say, or I will keep writing.  Time will tell.

Topics that I plan to address soon (I’ll come back and turn these into links as the posts go up):

There will probably be a lot more, too.  I don’t claim to know everything, but I have developed a passion for the things I do know, and my second-favorite thing about all this has been watching other people be inspired by my success.  I hope I can inspire a few more people this way.
