About Me

My name is Kathy Jesperson. I've been writing this blog for five years now. I started it shortly after my husband passed away unexpectedly in 2005.

I called my blog "Kathy's Journal: Weight Loss and Weird Stuff" because I wanted it to reflect that weight loss is about more than changing your diet and exercise habits. It's also about life. It's about who we are and how we got to where we are to begin with. It's about emotions, everyday life, and whatever comes along that might challenge me in ways that I don't expect and can't figure out how to overcome.

I don't want this blog to yet another "this is the perfect diet and exercise plan." There are enough of those kinds of blogs and sites. I want this to be more personal. I hope you find it entertaining as well as helpful.
