Inspiration from Taylor LeBaron, the boy who 'cut himself in half'

I found a great Huffington Post article by Taylor LeBaron, a young man who went from 297 pounds at age 14 to 145 pounds.

LeBaron, co-author of "Cutting Myself in Half: 150 Pounds Lost, One Byte at a Time," has quite an inspirational story, and has some great tips to turning one's life around from obesity.

"My life did a 180 when I lost 150 pounds," LeBaron wrote. "Now every day is filled with amazing opportunities."

While I don't need to "cut myself in half," I do feel like I have an up-hill battle in dropping 50 pounds. Knowing that others have lost even more than a measly 50 pounds, I feel like I can do it.
