hey, well i want to start of by saying i am a 33 yr old w/m from southwest Ga. I have been a big guy all my life and am plainly just f*cking tired of it. I started my journey this past saturday by going to a seminar. I am excited, but just having to deal with the insurance company on it is stressful enough. I want this, and i need this done so badly. I have 2 darlling younguns and a very loving wife to think about,..So i have come to the realization that i can't just not worry about it anymore, casue hell it's not going away. I wish sometimes i could be like "I dream of Jeannie" and close my eyes and say "Fat be gone!!",...but thats a pipe dream. I have too much at stake and am too young to be 6 feet under. I have health problems too that can be resolved by following through with this as well,...Sleep Apnea, HBP, hypotyroidism,..just to name a few. Well catch ya'll later and hope to make many new friends on here!!:puke:
