Eric founded ObesityHelp.com and the Association for Morbid Obesity Support in 1998 in order to help reach the 5 million plus people (there are this many in just the United States alone!) who suffer from morbid obesity. ObesityHelp is for people who are looking for information on treatment of this condition, looking for fun and companionship with peers with similar experiences, as well as looking for ways to help fight discrimination against obesity.
