    thank you guys and yes being a bk manager is hard for the diet but I gave it up cold turkey and have been doing good, im going to post a note i posted on facebook on oct the 1st I call in my Deceleration of Weight Independence

    Well here I am october 1st 2011 and I just finished reading a story about a guy who weighed 524 pounds (roughly) the weight I am now. He now weighs 350 ish pounds. So here I am at a very pivotal fork in the road with one path taking me down the road of killing myself with food or the other path of curing my disease (yes over eating is a psychological disease). I think I should explain somethings on how I got to where I am today.
    I have always been big but 6 years I ago I started a rapid weight gain and since than my health has gotten so bad that even my doctors have told me that surgery Is my only option, I suffer from sleep apnea, water retention, ademea, osteoporosis, compessed spinal fracture and they have even found cancer cells in my body. I have contemplating just packing in this life and seeing what the next has in store for me but there is one reason why i cant and she sleeps beside me every night. Now my main goal for weight loss is so I don't leave the love if my life alone.
    So what steps do I have to take? What moves must I take? These are all questions that I'm going to have to figure out fast and nit procastanate.
    This is not going to be easy this will be the hardest thing I have ever had to do.
    So oct the first two thousand and 11 will be my independence day, it will be the day I will celebrate as the day I saved my life, this is a goal I have to hit because the alliterative means death

    You are very brave and are to be commended! You have taken on a very difficult challenge, but you have a great attitude and I think you can absolutely do it. I have been using MFP for 4 months and lost 37 pounds. You have done very well and you have a great inspiration. Do not let this challenge get you down. You are a winner!
