All my life I struggled with obesity. Ive been bullied, spat on, ridiculed and even urinated on throughout my obese life. I turned to food every minute I could. Years and years of eating my way out of misery finally took its toll. My body was so run down and out of shape. I had no where to turn. No friends to talk to. My primary care physician insisted on weight loss surgery. I was scared, lonely, suicidal. I found a video on YouTube of a young man from Windsor who had had the same surgery and I was so inspired by his video. It gave me hope. I contacted him and he actually took the time to reply. No one has ever given me the time of day before. We communicated back and forth and he always said he had faith in me. Faith that I could change. Faith that I could turn my life around and have a reason to live. He always took the time to answer my questions, no matter how idiotic they may seem now. He inspired me to believe that I could lead a new happier life and I did. I had surgery. I took his advice. I have since lost 210+ pounds. He helped me throughout my entire weight loss journey. I am a new person now. I have a new personality. I see how wonderful this world really is. I have since met the man of my dreams and we are now engaged to be married in 2016! I'd like to thank Santino Pirrone. If it wasn't for him and his inspirational video I'm not quite sure where I would be right now. Sometimes in life you just need to find that one person that does or says the right thing to you that motivates you to change. Life seems so worth living now. I am so happy. I attached a copy of the video. Maybe someone else can be inspired?
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
