About Me
Who is Jeff Barnes?
Hey folks,
How are you doing today? I wanted to take the opportunity to tell you a little about myself.
About three years ago I gave up a pretty promising career as a US Navy submariner. I was the supervisor of one of the largest divisions on the USS Jefferson City, a fast attack submarine based out of beautiful San Diego. I decided to leave the Navy for several reasons, not the least of which was my beautiful wife, Ashley. She had moved to San Jose, CA about a year before my enlistment was over, so I decided I didn’t want to spend any more time away from her.
I was a scuba diver as well as a nuclear trained machinist mate, or mechanic. I was honorably discharged after six years in the military and felt this was the best choice for me. You see, I knew that what I was doing was an honorable duty, serving my country, but I felt I could do the same thing in a more direct manner outside of the military.
That is why I decided to start this website, as well as my other site, Stop Childhood Obesity. I wanted to focus on a problem that it seems so few people are paying attention to. I have always been in pretty good shape throughout my life, and I never really understood why so many kids were prone to being overweight. So, I am making it my personal mission to help as many children in the world as I can to stay fit and healthy for life. I will ensure that all the information included on this website is aimed at making sure you understand all of the causes and effects of being overweight or obese, information on health and wellness, as well as fitness and nutritional information.

Hello,
Recent studies have shown that depression can actually lead to obesity in adolescent youth through raised stress hormones. With a very recent, hefty 6 million dollar donation from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, The Cornell Center for Behavior Intervention Development has begin its approach at striking down obesity in our youth, including minorities.
I’d like to take a minute to discuss the profound affect depression has on b with you and the readers of http://www.mrjeffbarnes.com.
Please, take a minute to consider this and get back to me at your earliest; it would be a pleasure to contribute!
Kindly,
Rachelle
Rachelle,
I’d be delighted to discuss with you the effects of depression and obesity. I do like the idea of battling obesity young before it is an issue, as you can see on my other site http://www.stop-childhood-obesity.com.
