I'm overweight, I know that now. It took a long time for me to really "say" those words, but I can't tell you how good it feels to finally be "free" enough to speak them out loud without weeping uncontrollably. I have a problem, food. It's been my largest struggle most of my life. I can remember being whooped on Christmas morning by my mother for eating an entire tray of Magic Bars meant for our soon to be arriving guests. Or the time I consumed an entire jar of mayo in my Grandfathers garden and nearly died. But now I finally feel like I can beat this monster, lift this weight and become truly happy again. I can't stop this illness, but I can control it, for I  have the power and it is I who is behind the wheel. - Mike.
