Welcome, new readers. My name is Ben.

In December of 2008 I was an obese, depressed, despondent 22-year-old. On Christmas Eve, my grandmother asked me if I was happy with my life.

I wasn’t.

The next morning I started this blog as a promise to myself and to her that I would find that happiness she was wondering about.

If you feel so inclined, feel free to catch up from the beginning, novel style. Or here’s a big ol’ batch of some of the highlights from the past three years of blogging, running, losing some pounds, and finding myself again.
