A Year Older

Posted by: aryeh gizbar on: June 20, 2011

I recently turned 26 and I must say the past year has been amazing. A lot of things happened, but I think the most notable would be me losing a lot of weight, something that I honestly didn’t expect I could do. I knew of the risks and the possible outcomes and just tried to push myself to the limit. I wanted to feel good about myself. Thirteen months later, I was down two pants sizes, lost about 50 lbs. It’s a huge accomplishment on my end, and I don’t care if you don’t believe me, but it feels like I’ve won something, like someone who has lost a lot onĀ  I’m starting to gain my confidence back. I guess my only mistake was it took me this long to realize that change starts with oneself, that only me can help myself. Let’s call it, late bloomer. LOL. Read the rest of this entry »

I posted something at the start of the year that one of the things I would like to do is to lose weight. I’ve seen some of my friends lose weight. At first, I’m skeptic, thinking if I could really do something like that. It could be done, they are the proof of it, it’s just a matter of setting my mind into it. Read the rest of this entry »

Looking back…

Posted by: aryeh gizbar on: June 15, 2010

So here I am writing this sort-of-obligatory post for my 25th birthday. They say the 25th birthday is a special one, much like the 18th for the girls and the 21st for the boys; because it’s quarter of a decade. Of course there’s no assurance that I’ll live that long, heck that’s too long, to be honest; and besides, the average lifespan of humans isn’t that long nowadays anyway.
