    Here I stood.
    At 20 years old, with a beautiful 8 month old on my hip!

    There wasn't a love like I had found with the birth of my son.
    Such a selfless love, one that I cherished and worked hard at everyday.
    But behind this smile was hurt, a depression reached far beyond any love, or any source of fulfillment!
    An obsession.
    A insatiable need.
    A health risk, and a ultimately a death sentence.

    At 5'4 and 274 I was morbidly obese.
    At risk of heart attack, stroke, and the development of diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and a host of other diseases.

    It took someone close to me to tell me, that I was in danger, for me to realize, something had to change.
    I wouldn't live to see this 8 month old, walk in a high school graduation, go to prom, or play a sport if I didn't make a change.

    A true change.
    No fad diet.
    No fly by night weight loss scheme.

    But HARD WORK and DEDICATION!

    To change my life.

    So here I stand 90 lbs DOWN!!

    "It took someone close to me to tell me, that I was in danger, for me to realize, something had to change. " I hope you have personally thanked that person for having the courage to tell you the truth in a way you could relate and make it your own. That was a gift to you of pure love. Just from your profile picture, you're looking amazing! Here's to your health :drinker:
