I do not wanna call this my success story, because I am not finished. However I would like to tell my story. I think my journey started around the time my sister passed away 14 years ago, I was really close to my sister we would always play outside together. I was around 8 at the time she passed away. I think I began to eat for comfort, From then on I began to gain weight. When i graduated high school i was around 295, then about three years ago my father passed away I was a junior in college at this time, again i turned to food to comfort me. So on January 1st of 2010 I began my journey back to the healthy world. I weighed in at 336 which i do not believe was my heaviest. On this day April 16th I have last a total of 48 lbs, I cant even begin to explain how good I feel. But i know that I still have a long way to go. My end goal weight is somewhere around 195.
