My father died in early 2008 from obesity. He was almost 53 years old, and pushing 500 pounds. I spent a lot of time pressuring him to persue medical attention/surgery. In one of our last arguments, which I will never forget. "If it's so damn easy, why haven't you done anything about yours."
I have tried a lot of different plans with minimal success being no more than 30 pounds lost. Of course this was extremely discouraging, so I would end up gaining it back and some. I wore a size 18 jean by sixth grade. I weighed around 250 in college. At my first weigh-in/orientation on July 2, 2009, I came in at 296.75.
I am now attempting my last plan. If this does not work, I will not try anything else except to do the best I can and will accept an early death.
The plan is Optifast 800. The clinic I am going through is located in Fayetteville, NC. The goal is to lose 110 pounds in 26 weeks. This seems really fast to me, but I really need it. My life depends on it.
