Okay, Where do i start.....HI My name is Anthony and I'm a Capricorn,,I like walks on the beach........Alright wrong website!!!
I'm  here to tell you about my story.....I was brought up in a very loving home to  wonderful parents had a great childhood with my younger brother and the dinner table was the meeting area and location for most of the family bonding. I was brought up in a predominatley Portuguese family where food was the answer for everything. YOU ARE SICK,YOU EAT !
YOUR'E SAD...EAT! YOUR'E HAPPY....EAT!!!!. Unfortunatley I have always lived my life like that until recently. i would always turn to food as my emotional crutch,reward or whatever was going on in my life.Living to eat was what I loved to do and it is a big part of my life. I was always a little overweight as a kid , you know Anthony lets not go to the boys section we have to get you the husky pants! They never called you fat in my family they would say you were "healthy". We were taught to overeat and finish your plate and that was it or else. I grew up like I said a Little overweight and always held my weigfht well. I never looked as heavy as I was so it never isolated me from doing normal things,like sports ,chasing girls etc. In 1994 working I met the woman who changed it all .it was my wife Jen. She was the front end manager and I pushed carriages. It was great when we started dating and still is .......15 years later. We have two of the most precious girls anyone could be blessed with . When Jen and I met I was 250lbs always active went dancing,sports, swimming and stayed there for a few years. as the years have gone by my activity level was slowing .i was working more. I now had a family to support and life was work ,work ,work. I started eating more and before i knew i was pushing 400lbs! I couldn't belive it how does this happen. Well now i know how and why it happened and I am ready to change my life for the better . I believe that I can succeed and ill be victorious in this journey. I now except the decisions I made in past and want to change my future and enjoy life more . Life is now my big dessert and I plan to take a huge bite of it!
