Of this blog, that is.
Like many - I would imagine most - fat people, I have in the past made various attempts to not be fat. Many were powered mostly by wishful thinking and faded quickly, but a few were sincere and I made some temporary progress. But all ended up in the same place, with slow but steady weight gain defining my adult life.
About six months ago as I write this, at the start of July 2014, I started another attempt to lose weight. The odd thing this time around is it's been working for longer than any previous attempt, and I'm reasonably confident it'll continue to work. So far, I've lost about 22.5 kg - that's approximately 49.5 lbs in quaint old units. And I think I have the methodology down now, such that even though I'm not quite halfway to my target weight - currently a bit under 128 kg, aiming for 95 kg - I fully expect to get there. I also fully expect it to take most of 2015.
So, this blog. It's here so I can talk a bit about how I'm doing this, and so I can record my progress. Share some victories, and maybe rant a bit on those days when things aren't going so great - which have happened and will no doubt happen again. And who knows, maybe this'll help somebody else out there.
And the blog name? This journey is about becoming a better version of myself. Healthier, stronger, more confident. In short, superhero me. And so this is my origin story.
