I'm so proud of Gil

I watched the Action Hero Makeover last evening, and I was so happy to see that Gil chose to take charge of his life by having gastric bypass. As someone who also struggles with their weight, seeing someone who was a big part of my childhood have the same struggles did a lot to inspire me. While I have chosen not to have surgery, and am seeing wonderful results through diet and exercise, I applaud Gil for doing what he needed to do to get his health back. It's good to see him healthy and active again.

Try to catch this moving story on Discovery whenever it shows again. Gil's transformation in one year is tremendous! I wish him many years of health and happiness.
