A New York man has shed half of his body weight and rediscovered his love for life, by overcoming the depression and health complications that followed the death of his father.
Long Island local Andrew Goldblatt, 25, had always struggled with his weight, and weighed nearly 300 pounds at the age of 15 when his father passed away. But it was when he suffered a seizure and later stepped on the scale at the age of 20, and found he had gained almost 250 pounds in five years following a battle with depression, that he realized things needed to change.
