Free Yourself From Guilt Discover Eating With Purpose Learn Sustainable Exercise Build Confidence Reset Your Self - Image Keep Yourself Thin Throughout an up-and-down career in college, Jonathan DeLeon struggled to find what he was meant to do in life. He realized that in order to find his passion he first needed to see the value in himself. Throughout life he had struggled with self-image issues and put on considerable weight. This led to a negative mental pattern that made him feel worthless, or at least unworthy of happiness. After many attempts DeLeon finally broke through and found that for years he had held a false belief. When he lost the weight, he would be happy. He found that in reality he had to be happy to lose the weight. But how could someone be happy when they are currently unhappy with who they are? He found the way. "Losing weight isn't only about looking better in the mirror. It's about being happy with who you are and being proud of what you have done. These feelings can only be found when you address the mental side as well as the physical. Fix your thoughts, and your body will follow." -Jonathan DeLeon
