"A Life Apart: The Toll of Obesity"

Hector Garcia Jr. walks back to the car after visiting the grave of his sister, Terry Amen. His nieces, Lauren Ibarra, from left, Chelsea Amen, who is Terry's daughter, and Brooke Freed, accompanied him in July 2011. It was his first time visiting her grave since her death in 2007 since he was homebound. He used her death as inspiration to fight to lose weight again in 2010. "She fought so hard to live and she died. And I thought it was disrespectful for me to be killing myself slowly with my weight," Hector said.
