Save Big Daddy!

Born in San Diego in 1978, I have lived in Arizona for most of my life. I have been overweight for as long as I can remember, and my doctors believe I have a disorder that prevents my brain from being told I am full. I have a wonderful wife and two children who I would do anything to take care of. I have been doing just that, ANYTHING, with no regard for my own health. It hasn't plagued me until recently, when I went to the doctor and tipped the scales at almost 450 pounds. I was awestricken. The last time I had weighed myself before that (about a year ago), I weighed about 375. It's all starting to catch up to me now, the diet, the constant hunger, and the inability to exercise due to constant knee and back pain... The eleveated blood pressure, the high cholesterol, the swelling in my legs... The list goes on and on. I have tried numerous countless diets, excercise, doctor supervised nutritionists, Atkins, Weight Watchers, and others; all with temporary success, but with no lasting results. And in the end I've always put on more weight than I've lost. My family and I have decided that something drastic MUST be done, and after a 2 year battle with my insurance company, we've realized that it's going to be very expensive, and that we are going to need more help than we had originally thought. I truly believe that with YOUR help, I can achieve my goals, and become healthy again so I can be around for many years to come. Thank you for visiting!!
