The Scariest Thing I've Ever Done

March 15, 2015 by Scott in Everything Else, Journey

I've tried time and time again to get healthy. And time and time again, I've failed miserably.

If this time is going to be different, I've got to do something differently.

So, I decided to venture out of my comfort zone and record a video for my Facebook friends, asking them to help me along my weight loss journey.

I'm a little nervous, because I'm not sure how many of them will actually respond, but the only way to know is to ask.

Transcript:

Hey there Facebook Friends!

So, this is super awkward for me, but I really have to ask you guys for a favor.

Most of you have known me for a while, and over the years you’ve probably noticed that I’ve constantly struggled with my weight.

Over the past few years, I’ve made a number of attempts to live better and I’ve gone through periods where I’ve lost 40, 50 and even as much as 60 pounds!

But sooner or later, life would get the better of me, and I’d slowly gain back all the weight I had lost - most of the time with interest.

But I’m just at the point where I can’t allow this to continue any longer. If I don’t do something about it soon, I know this thing will kill me. And for my family’s sake, I just can’t let that happen.

But here’s the thing - time has proven that I can’t do this on my own. And in some ways, I feel more alone than I’ve ever been. As most of you know, we just moved to the San Francisco Bay Area less than 2 years ago, and in November we sold our house to move closer to the city. Monica and I just started new jobs, Lucas is at a new school, we’re going to a new church. We’re basically starting our lives over from scratch and have no family or friends within a 20 mile radius.

But while I am feeling a little isolated in this new city, it occurred to me that I do have access to a few hundred people who I’ve called a friend at one time or another on Facebook. So I’m reaching out to you to see if you’d be willing to help me kick this thing for good and reboot my life.

Now don’t worry, I’m not going to ask you for any money.

The only thing I’m going to ask you to do is to be what you’ve been all along - a friend.

For years I’ve been afraid to admit it, but I really just need someone to come alongside me and celebrate the small victories, get in my face when I feel like giving up, and to remind me why I’m doing this in the first place.

I’ve started a vlog on YouTube to document my weight loss journey. I’ll be posting a new video a minimum of three times per week and I’ll start each week with a weight loss update and game plan for the week ahead.

If you’re committed to helping me on this journey, I’d love it if you subscribed to the channel, watch the videos when I upload them and leave me a comment with some words of encouragement or even a kick in the butt if the situation calls for it. It shouldn’t take more than a couple of minutes of your time each week, but I can tell you that it would be a HUGE motivator for me to know that I’ve got a group of people in my corner that I’m accountable to each week.

I’ll be creating a Facebook page too, for those of you who aren’t into the whole YouTube thing, so be sure to like the page if that’s you’re preferred method.

In closing, I just want to say thank you in advance to those of you who decide to help me through this. I’m hoping that this will be the final push I need to finally get back on the right track.
