Mind of Bert

I Wanna be a Loser!

Hello Fellow Bloggers...One of my biggest daily struggles is the one the I tend to think of the least, and that's my weight. Infact, I think it's one not many of us think of. Growing up, I was always the "skinny kid" of the family. I was so skinny, that my family came up with the nickname, "Gordo" which means fat in spanish, and I grew up with that nickname. Imagine the irony! I started to put on weight at the age of 12 and just grew more and more from there. I have had plenty of times when I told myself, "That's it. I'm gonna lose the weight". That, however, was the problem. I would only tell myself, and a few close family members, so I didn't really feel the pressure to lose it.

On Tuesday morning, I was catching up on the usual blog posts I like reading and found a very motivating one on Pastor Brian Vasil's Blog. As many of you know, he put himself on a strict diet recently and is seeing the fruits of his hard work.His determination and perseverance has really inspired me to do the same. So I will be joining the Brian Vasil Weight Loss Program and like him, I am making it public. I must admit that this wasn't an easy post to do, and I wasn't gonna do it. I figured, "nah..I can do it alone". But the truth is, I CAN'T. I will need everyone's help. If you have any tips or suggestions feel free to comment me or email me at lopez.rc@gmail.com and if anyone sees me eating something I shouldn't, feel free to swat it out of my hand. But the greatest way you can help, is just by keeping me in prayers. I am not hoping this works. I know this will work because I not only have you guys backing me up, but I have Jesus Christ on my team. I will be posting my weight every week on the naked scale on the sidebar (---->) and trying to log my progress regularly. I guess you can say this is my way of "Getting Naked"
