It was and nonetheless is my sincerest hope that my story will assist inspire someone where I was for so a few years. Maybe reading of my weight loss success will spark something in somebody, just enough for them to rekindle the need within to change their life and escape the prison of morbid obesity. At one time, I truthfully didn’t think I’d ever get it together. I couldn’t do it, or so I believed.

I assumed I was hopeless and i knew I used to be dying a little everyday. But over the course of the last 501 days, I’ve proven that I can do it, and I know that they/you may too. So, for that exposure that might spark something for even one morbidly obese particular person, I say thank you to the Tulsa World from the bottom of my coronary heart.

I was a whole raging meals addict. And should you took me and shook me back then and said “OK Sean, here’s what we’re going to do…you’re going to start consuming good and clear right now. Your quick meals days are over starting right now.
