Almost 3 years later....  I am currently 307 lbs.  My little girl is an angel, and my boy is my inspiration.  I have a rock solid marriage,  because I love my wife more than anything and will do anything for her.

I lost my mother in January this year.  It has been a tough 2014, but it is beginning to turn around.

I miss talking to my mother, but I can feel her strength in me, and I know that I make her proud everyday.  I have practicing Judo for the last almost year with my son.  And I recently just started training for my second 5K.  So I have the exercise part of my life under way...  But I stlll have a large demon to fight....  I am sabotaging myself with food.  I finally understand that I have a fear of failure that if I drop below 300 pounds, and somehow get back to that number, that I will be a failure.

This is my first dragon to slay....  Time to punch my fear in the face and be the man that I am supposed to be.
