I just thought I'd put this link here to remind us all

(especially those of us who are losing weight quickly and feeling much better these days)

EXACTLY what its all about and if we don't take our weight problem seriously where we can all too often end up:

I really feel for this guy...I really hope he gets his life back.

Wow...I didn't even know a person can weigh that much! I hope he changes his life after that surgery!!!!

Re: hey everyone...

I am very happy for him that someone finally had the courage to do the right thing. I watched the episode on him (I used to live near the hospital he was at), and they finally made him start making right decisions. Finding your own personal rock bottom is a hard thing to do and admit to that you have reached the end of your rope. Thankfully, in his (and my) case there was someone still willing to help out.

Re: hey everyone...

I saw the program on him too and actually felt empathy for this guy. I know I never weighed anywhere near as much as this guy but...

I remember not so long ago breathing heavily due to being so overweight, having trouble bending or even cleaning...Not wanting to even get out of bed if I could help it because I was so fat...

In short this story made me realise just how narrow an escape I had by pulling myself up by my bootstraps...if I could get to over 18 stones at my very worse then I'm sure if i'd carried on the way I was going I would have ended up in juts as terrible a situation as this guy.

I'm sooo glad for my Atkins plan diet tonight.
