Who am I and What is my deal?!
I am a 25 year old male from Massachusetts. I have battled with my weight for about 15 years now. I have been "fat" since I was about 10 or 11 and weighed almost 400lbs all the way through high school. I would try going on diets and was always very active as a young man. I loved to ride my bike and play basketball but as I have gotten older and gained more responsibilities, I have less and less time for activities such as those, and even when I try to do anything I become exhausted and short of breath very quickly. I have extremely low energy for a person my age and even lower self esteem.
I have had high blood pressure for about 7 years so far and high for me is usually 160-140/115-90. I have lost weight in the past and gained it all back and then some, SO, I have become extremely motivated with this pending bypass I hope to have more energy so I can work out after surgery and get into shape FAST.
I have a wonderful wife of 4 years marriage and a total of 11 years together, and a beautiful 3 1/2 year old daughter so I have a lot to live for!
By the way...Feel free to look me up on myspace also at http://www.myspace.com/oct81
