About
Ok, so this my blog. Originally I had hoped to blog daily since the 14 Weeks of Summer Weight Loss Fundraiser began, but with so many other things in my life I got side tracked. I think I have the attention span of a knat….oh look, a bird.
Back in the Summer of 2008 I published a blog during my last major attempt to lose weight. I blogged for a few months; about the same amount of time I tried losing the weight. It was darker, maybe a little edgier and, I believe, explained a few things about me. There were 20 or so people that knew about it so I felt somewhat comfortable writing about what I was going through. Even then I really didn’t spill the beans on everything. My life has changed so much since then; I’ll probably blog about it in bits and pieces eventually. But even if it’s just for the fact I’m so much more well known, I’m honestly a little nervous about giving too much away about myself. I tend to put walls up to protect myself and I believe there are good reasons why.
Now I have 3500+ friends and followers, many of whome I’ve never met or who I haven’t seen in years, who will have some really intimate knowledge of me. And yeah, that kind of scares the crap of me. But as I’ve evolved so will this blog. I hope you enjoy this blog and come back frequently for updates. Later.
BTW- I’m so far behind in writing these posts, but I do have place holders. Just be patient, everything will be filled in soon enough.
You are doing a great job Will!!!!

Looking forward to reading more, Will! I know it can be hard to open yourself up to people (especially in as public a forum as this), but along with the risks come great rewards in the form of support and meeting some excellent people that you otherwise might never have known. The best advice I can give is to ignore the naysayers (as hard as that can be) and keep your focus on the positive. I think you’re doing the right thing, and I think you believe that too or you wouldn’t be putting yourself out there – keep up the good work!
