For Everybody else.......like I said I am here to give support to others like myself and hop to find others that will help give me support and be there when I need someone to talk to as well!

"Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there!"

I will be leaving OH by the end of the year. I love all of you that have made me your friend. I ask that you come befriend me on my myspace or face book. But I will let it be know that I am tried of the ass holes and negative people that seem to live in the forums and blogs. I was on here to give support and get support and because I didn't didn't word my blogs that made me sound perfect. And finding out that there are soooooo many negative people on this website, Well you win. I wish you the best and hope nothing but the best for you. Other then that, I will be doing what I do best acting and showing support to those that want it. And by moving on allows me to be able to ride myself of the heart ache that was giving to me cause I worded things in a way the folks at OH suggested!. Never again will I be so willing to open my life to people who think small and want to fine falt with everything that people who want to help, try to offer. So I am not perfect!!!!!!! Never tried to be.
Cheers
Ron Lester

Hi Ron,

I have heard of you, like many others. Your story is definitely inspirational. I am glad to know that you are apart of OH.

I'm sorry that it's much harder to find work now that you are not the "fat guy". You would think that it would be a plus. But I'm glad you had this surgery and are healthier. Just keep doing what you enjoy and it will all work out.

Hi Ron, thank you for your honesty and your post, I visited your profile and you have really been through alot on your journey to be healthy. I am truly amazed that you were able to post the pictures you did an allow us into your personal journey. I myself was scheduled to have gastric bypass on 10/20 but came down with an awful cold and had to be rescheduled. I am now scheduled for December 1st. Along my journey I have experienced an immense amount of fear and all of the what if's seem to sneak up on me, even haunting me at night. I have a previous history of Pulmonary Embolism for unkown reasons, so this has fueled my fears of having the surgery. However, I too am in need of a change in myself in order to get healthy. And, as we all know this is NOT the easy way out. It is a life long commitment. Thank You so much for reaching out and making yourself available, you are truly an inspiration. Although I don't think I have seen the movies you mention above it is nice to have a celebrity that is willing to let us in and share, it seems to help those visions of dreaming more of a reality, afterall you are a person like the rest of us right? Congradulations on all your weight loss, I wish you the best.
