    Your story made me laugh and made me cry. No matter how little if how much weight we have to loose we all have to take that first step to choose a better life style.

    CONGRATS you are well on your way to 350, 300 and possibly lower. Just take it one day at a time and dont give up. YOU CAN DO IT... when I started out 100+ lbs seemed impossible so I just broke it down to 10 lbs at a time and for every 10 lbs I bought myself some earrings. remember babysteps you will get there. And I love your writing style look forward to hearing more and seeing some progress pics

    Thank you so much for posting this. You had me in tears by the end of it. I have spent my entire 21 years hoping that my mom will have this soul found realization that yes, she is considered "morbidly obese", but she does control her body and her life, and she CAN do it. She also cannot use a normal scale and your story just touched me. It just reminds me not to give up on her, that she can do it, and the more support she has the easier it will be for her to loose the weight.

    I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes. Your attitude is amazing and makes me want to kick myself in the a** for not at least getting up for stroll around the neighborhood last night. The very best of luck (and determination and courage and humor) on the rest of your journey.

    Thanks for the enlightenment and window into your corner! Your attitude and perseverence is what everyone needs to emulate. I will try to look at the one-at-a-time pounds and activities that way. It also occurs to me that you are already (even before Old Reliable) a big winner. You have a woman who knows you and finds you more than acceptable as her life partner and father. Your relationship with your child is a good one and you are setting an EXCELLENT example for him on how to live life well. I cheer you on your continued journey.
