Since this is a throwaway story/ad I will put an entertaining anecdote.<p>Last year I was working as a janitor at McDonald's to comply with my release from federal prison after my computer hacking case.<p>During this time I started dieting a simple set of changes. I basically just ate twice a day, once was tuna with something and another was salad. No exceptions.<p>I dropped the weight slowly but very surely. From 280 to 220 very easily.<p>At this restaurant we're two women who were overweight. Both of them went and took a trip to Mexico to have an invasive stomach surgery. One of them lost over 100lbs if you include the weight they made her lose before she could do the surgery.<p>However, one of the surgeries was botched somehow and the woman went into a coma for a month. They were attempting to pull the plug on her, get donated organs, and talking with her family about the needless suffering she would endure if they sent her to a long term care facility.<p>She woke up out of that coma a month later and has been making a recovery since.<p>It sparked a conversation with my wife and we both independently came up with the same ideas. We want to be given a chance to recover, but we would want each other to move on and not become an excessive burden beyond a year. Plus we have no idea what kind of existence we would be subjecting someone to.
