Cold plunge thoughts. So about four months after going to the personal trainer,

I was like starting to feel something.

And what I was feeling was a love for my body.

And it was really interesting because I didn't really think that I didn't love

my body before then. But I noticed that I did start to not love my body many

years ago upon reflection.

And so I decided that one of the most important things for me to do was to love my body.

And so I started just focusing and thinking about that.

And the workouts didn't really matter. What I was eating didn't really matter. matter.

What mattered is that I just decided that I needed to love my body.

And that's really kind of weird for a guy to say. And it felt weird to say it.

But what I realized is that by loving my body, I would start treating my body differently.

Or at least that's what I thought. And so for two more months,

I just focused on loving my body.

No matter what shape it was, no matter what size it was, no matter what was wrong with it.

And I'd basically just tell myself in the mirror each day, I love my body. This body's great.

And after a couple months of doing that, my mindset and my desire to change started kicking in.

And it was about this time that my brother-in-law and sister were losing a bunch

of weight themselves and we're looking a lot better and feeling better and having

more energy and so i decided to.

Decide to make some changes now this was six months of going to a personal trainer

every week and what i finally got to was i just need to love my body and that

mindset is where where everything else started.

So tomorrow I'll share what I did to lose my first 40 pounds.
