I do not want to take that from him, and I do not want to hurt my wife, but she brought up a great point. I have to want to do it for myself as well or I will fail, and shes right. For the first time I believe I can do it, and I will do it. I will post monthly updates on my progress!

Michael O, I have always respected you and even when you worked for epassporte I could tell you cared and you were a good person. Do not consider what you did cheating you did the best thing you could of done for your health. One thing I have noticed as although it was my son who pushed me to beginning this process you do not need anyone but yourself.

Believe in yourself because regardless of anything, being poor, having bad things happen in the end life is a gift a blessing. You have everything to live for and that is yourself.
