James couldn’t get his weight loss surgery because he couldn’t lose enough weight to make him eligible for the surgery.  His girlfriend, Lisa, would give him unhealthy food although she knew he was trying to lose the weight.  James met Lisa when he was 20-years-old.  She lived two houses away with her abusive husband.

Lisa has four children.  James and Lisa had an affair.  One day, she was sitting on his porch, crying, so James kissed her on the cheek.  Lisa explains that she knew he had a big heart after he kissed her.  They fell in love.  James says that his weight never bothered Lisa.
