“Imagine being told by more than one doctor and health professional that you will die if you don’t make changes immediately. That’s what happened to me when I weighed over 500 lbs.

“I could not deny that I felt depressed, isolated, and hopeless. Aside from work, I avoided going out in public if I didn’t have to. But then I thought of my dear wife and precious children having to attend my funeral. How could I do that to them? I knew that I wanted to stay alive, to feel better, and to be a better husband and father.

“Hearing the Medifast Weight Control Centers commercial on the radio was the best thing that could have happened to me. I took the first step and called. By then, I had been scheduled for a referral to a bariatric surgeon for gastric bypass and I’m glad I called Medifast instead!

“When I began losing weight, I would daydream about how great it would be to go somewhere and not feel uncomfortable. I imagined being able to take a flight, fit in chairs that have arms, go on amusement park rides with my kids, and most important, set a good example for my children. Now these things are actually starting to happen! I’m living a totally new life now: It’s like I have received a second chance.

“My work life is much better, I am more effective and when I get home, I’m not as tired. I never thought I would skate again, and now I’m planning on joining an over-30 hockey league. It’s a great feeling when I run into someone that I haven’t seen in a long time and they don’t recognize me. My wife is thrilled with my transformation to better health: Life is great!”
