Hi Chelle,
I am very close by, I live in Hazel Green. I know what you mean, I settled to the fact that I was obesse also, not a good feeling. I learned about this site through a lady at church and the more I read, I came to realize there was hope. I chose Dr. Cason as my Dr. I wish you the best. I have a date 10 Sept which is really close. If you would like to talk sometime drop me an email. God Bless
