Jeremy Norman obesity documentary

Jeremy Norman was a beloved member of the ObesityHelp community. Many of you got to know him and his story of courage and love. My family became friends with him last year online and loved his story. As documentary makers we set out last December to make a film about Jeremy's life and the scope of the obesity crisis. Tragically, five days after leaving Jeremy's home, he passed away. The film is called "Waiting for My Real LIfe" and will be coming to tv shortly.  Now, we feel the need to make a second documentary film on this topic of obesity, searching for solutions. Tammy at ObesityHelp has kindly given us permission to request your help. 

We are looking for several powerful personal stories that could inspire and educate. What have you tried to help you overcome obesity? What's worked for you? What hasn't? Do you have a personal story like Jeremy Norman, that could touch peoples hearts? A story of hope, courage and complete honesty - that's what we're looking for. 

If you'd like to share your story with us, we'd love to hear from you. Our hope is that these films will honor Jeremy's life goals of spreading love, understanding and hope to others. You can contact me at: [email protected]

Thank you sincerely,

Jonathan Harrison

How do I say that I would like to be considered for this incredible opportunity without sounding vain??? I am a high school teacher who has lived a normal life heavy...and now a normal life thin..  I have inspired others, I have written an internationally purchased cookbook, I have advocated, publically spoke, and privately supported...  I want others who are normal to realize that this is a wonderful tool for health...not a magic bullet for weight loss...

PLEASE consider me...

Thanks for doing this! I'm a filmmaker as well.
