I have had weight issues since I was 12 years old. It didn't get really out of hand until the last year of high school. I am now in my 30s, and I am over 330 pounds. I have been fighting the battle of the bulge and losing. I don't want to die young. I don't want early health issues that I should expect later in life because of the natural cycle of things breaking down.

I want to be happy, and I want to live a enriched life.
