…for saving my husband’s life.   I know that this statement sounds a bit dramatic but the program has changed our lives beyond measure. Please allow me to describe Keith’s journey.

At 53 years old, Keith was well engrossed in a downward spiral of obesity, high blood pressure and depression.  His pain, anger and self-loathing were magnified by his excessive alcohol intake.  Although he had battled his weight most of his life it came to a head in May of 2014 when his anger frightened our family enough that we were prepared to leave.

During his adult life, Keith tried diet after diet with no lasting results. He equated eating with comfort but he soon found himself so overweight it seemed impossible to change.  He began to have difficulty with high blood pressure and found himself unable to perform his usual activities.  People would stare at him and comment about his weight gain which caused him embarrassment and pain.  Soon he found himself turning to alcohol to cope with his misery.
