He was on the Today show this morning.
His story is very sad but also I think it showed great determinantion...He said his life went into a downward spiral a few years ago because he accidentally killed an elderly couple with his car. He was charged with involuntary manslaughter. He said after that happend he became severely depressed and started comfort eating - I think he was over 400 lbs at one point. His wife and him were having trouble and at Christmas, she told him she wanted a divorce.
He said something that stuck with me this morning - Everyone needs to take a long walk sometimes to gain perspective.
