I’ve been going through some stuff recently which has led me down a road resulting in what I’ve always known but chosen not to seriously act upon. I need to take better care of myself mentally and physically.
It’s been a long time but I am restarting this fundraising campaign. Out of my many (many) weight loss attempts I have tried this by far was the most successful. While it invites vulnerability into a scenario that I already am insecure about it is hoped with help and support I will be able to come out the other side mentally and physically stronger while putting some good into the world by raising some money for Musician’s Making a Difference and The Black Dog Institute.
Compared to the first ‘Gus is Losin It’ I have a team of doctors, nutritionists, exercise physiotherapists and mental health counselors to help me along this journey in the hopes that I can make this the last weight loss attempt and won’t ‘yo-yo’ between different weights.
I’ll be updating the amount of weight I lose here weekly (under Progress) so you can keep track of my journey - I’ll be fundraising from the 25th of January 2022 through to the 31st of March 2023.
I understand not everyone can donate (and some of you may not want too) and that’s completely fine. If you want to help out and can’t donate please feel free to reach out. Support could just be checking in, asking to go for a walk anything no matter how small you think it is would be greatly appreciated.
For those of you who would like to donate I’d like to firstly say thank you - these are two causes which I feel strongly about and your support of them and my challenge is greatly appreciated. In the previous challenge some people chose to donate vs how much weight I lost which is also doable as you can enter a custom donation amount above.
I will also be donating 50% of the cost of an uber eats order each week ;)
Thanks for taking the time to read this and your support it is greatly appreciated.
With love -
Gus
