I'm a 36 year old woman deemed Social Security disabled due to my obesity. I'm 320 lbs, have high blood pressure, sleep apnea, arthritis, ademia, herniated discs but thank God, no diabetes yet. I've been on every diet known to man. I'd be very willing to trade my handicap parking permit in for a healthy bod!
