Role Model
Danny coached his son’s football team and wanted to be able to do more with his children, but he was just physically too big to be the husband and father his family deserved! One evening, his outlook on his life changed when his found his “Why.” His daughter came to him at 7 years old and said “Daddy, You are my hero, and I want to be just like you! I want a belly just like yours!” This was a nightmare because his waist had grown to over 69 inches! What kind of role model was he being to his family?
The Biggest Loser
