People always ask how I lost the weight – what exactly did I do? When did I start?

It’d be far too overwhelming to try and answer everyone individually so I thought I’d do a little recap / update for ya…

I tend to have crazy news to share just about every time I call my mom – tonight was no exception. The past year has had a lot of unexpected twists and turns, many as a result of YouTube… to recap – I’ve been interviewed and featured on several websites, was given back-stage access at a presidential debate, have had my videos appear in university classrooms, started doing short appearances on FOX News, changed career directions entirely… and today I got word that I’m being flown to LA on Thursday (as in… two days from now) to meet with the advertising agency for Weight Watchers to discuss creative ideas for having me appear in potential commercials and webspots.

Uhm… yeah….. crazy and exciting.

I really don’t know exactly where this is all leading but I just keep going with the flow. It’s been hilarious to me and incredibly fun to see that so many of the things I’ve put my heart & energy into are producing fantastic opportunities. No doubt there is also an element of luck involved – I’m by no means unique and am grateful that others have seen something in me that I haven’t always seen in myself… life is too short to not take chances and attempt to make a splash – it doesn’t always work out but it’s always an interesting ride.
