About Rick

Hey folks.  I’m Rick, a 43-year-old guy who has decided enough-is-enough.

I’m starting out at 350lbs.  I’m 6’1.  I’ve been overweight most of my life, but REALLY overweight the last 10 or so years.

I also have been fighting mental illness.  The past 18 months have been nearly unbearable.  I’ve had depression, anxiety, agoraphobia, and suicidal tendancies.  I’ve been hospitalized 5 times this past summer and fall for it.

Oh, I should tell you about my sleep apnea, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure.

So I’ve got lofty barriers, but I think much of it starts with the weight.  So I’m going to lose 150 lbs.  Mark my words.

I will do this.
