The last 12 months or so have been an eye opening and genuinely exciting stretch when it comes to my health. A lot of people here can relate: after I left the military, my weight became a problem that I fought with for 15 to 20 years. The older I get, the tougher it is to shed anything, and that fight has spilled over into other areas — depression, worry, and fear about leaving my kids with no father around to watch over them. My kids came along later in my life, so those alarm bells have been going off for quite a while, and even so, dragging myself out of this has been really difficult. In the beginning I started testing out diet and exercise, giving keto, carnivore, and Mediterranean a shot, and sadly every path led me back to the same spot. Those ways of eating simply cannot be maintained, or at least that was true for me at that point. That is what finally brought me here, looking for something different. Ideally something better. I want to soak up everything I can, and I want to be useful to other people on their own path too. I have already spotted a few folks here who are near where I am from in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I have lived in many parts of the country, but my love for home never faded. I have been told this is a fantastic spot to learn, and I am eager to hear from everyone, thanks. Bloodwrk81 40+ M
