Hey there,
​
I stepped on the scale this week and the number hit me like a punch: 291 pounds.

I’ve known for a while I was carrying extra weight, but seeing it spelled out in bright digital numbers made it real.

I’m obese.

But here’s the good news: I’m not just staring at the number anymore. I have a plan. I’m putting my entire journey out there—daily until I lose 100 pounds.

Here are three things I'm doing to lose 100 pounds.

#1 - Posting Daily

The first thing I’m doing is posting a short video every single day.

This may not sound like a big deal, but for me it’s everything. Every video is a marker on the path, proof that I showed up that day.

It’s accountability—public and personal.

When I film, I think twice about what I’m eating. It’s my food journal, my scoreboard, and my way of making sure this doesn’t just fade like every other health “kick” I’ve tried.

#2 - Exercising Daily

The second piece of my plan is simple: move my body every day.

Some days it’s the gym, other days it’s a 30-minute walk outside. I’m aiming for 10,000 steps or more, but the real target is consistency. I don’t want another short-lived burst of motivation that fizzles out.

I want movement to be part of my life the way brushing my teeth is—non-negotiable.

#3 - Intermittent Fasting

And finally, I’m experimenting with 16-hour intermittent fasting (11AM-7PM eating window).

What I’ve learned is that obesity isn’t just about willpower—it’s about hormones, especially insulin.

For me, fasting is a way to press pause on the endless cycle of cravings. It gives me space to feel hunger, not fear it, and retrains my body to stop running on constant snacking and start burning what it already has stored.

In Conclusion

So here I am—three tools in my pocket, a mountain of weight to lose, and one stubborn belief holding it all together: persistence beats perfection.

I don’t need to be flawless. I just need to keep showing up. Daily until.

If you’re reading this and you’ve got your own “mountain” to climb—whether it’s weight loss or something else—maybe the first step isn’t perfect planning. Maybe it’s just picking your three things, starting small, and not stopping.

See you next week.

In best regards,
Ben
