Hi Paul.

I agree 100%!

I am 25 and 430 pounds at 5'6. I have always been heavy, my whole life. Eating is the way I deal with EVERYTHING, it's my drug of choice. I do need the tool (GBP) to continue living my life.

Like I said I have always been heavy. I could out run my skinny older brother any day of the week when we were growing up. I had tons of energy and never felt fat until I looked in a mirror. To this day I dont feel as fat as I am. But I never thought it was OK to be this heavy, I just couldnt fix it myself. Then last year I had some medical problems and my world came crashing down very quickly. I am afraid for these people. I wish they would understand its dangerous to live as heavy as they are. I've always known that being over weight is unhealthy and I need to fix it. And I had to make the decision myself to have GBP. I hope these women decide that a healthy life is better. I am going to go on being the best me I can be!

Paul, You are such an inspiration!! I cant wait to join you on the loser bench!
