The Truth

I'm very sorry for your loss. As Oprah would say, "This is your A-Ha moment". I'm sad your friend has to pass in order for you to have this moment. Your family needs you. When ever you want to backslide into your "old ways" once you begin this journey, remember this feeling and use it to give you the strength to keep on going. The end result will be worth it. Your family wants to keep you around!!! Finding this site is the best step you could have taken!! Congrats to you! Good luck!

I'm sorry about the loss of your friend. I wish you the best of luck on this journey you're about to take. Losing weight is difficult at first. But the more you work at it the easier it becomes. Draw on the support of your family and the people on this site (and others like it). You'll get there!

I am sorry about the loss of your friend. It's even harder in emotional times not to turn to food for comfort. Keep looking at those kids of yours and your wife. They love you, they need you and they want the best of life for you. Take each day as it comes, and just keep making one right decision after another. Good luck on your journey. God Bless
