My Weight or My Life! With Michael Giusto

Michael shares with us the trials and tribulations he and his family endured growing up in Danbury Connecticut. With his mother being in a horrific car accident, six surgeries later and bound to a wheel-chair, through the grace God she was able to walk again with a slight limp. Unfortunately, the family was devastated mentally and financially and ended up losing their family home. Forcing Michael to leave home at sixteen ending up in Naples, FL. with his family following him some months later. Then tragedy strikes again and he loses his young father at forty-six to heart disease. After packing on the pounds through tragedy and stress Michael found himself weighing in at an incredible 400LBs along with that came the realization that he needed to live for his own family. Therefore being faced with his weight or his life at the same age as his dad forty-six. Irony at its best.
