An article was published yesterday in the Out & About Newspaper that featured Dana’s decision to come out about his being gay as a necessity for battling his weight-loss successfully.

The cameras left March 4, but the true test of a man is what he does when no one’s watching. But there are still a lot of people still watching me. I eat every three hours. I go to the pool four times a week. They gave me all the tools I need. I’ve learned so much about food and reading labels. I’m equipped to handle it. It’s still a struggle. I know what I’m doing, and a lot of people are watching and keeping me focused. I look forward to living the rest of my life free. A college professor once told me “Begin with the end in mind,” and that’s what I live by.

In the article, Dana shares a little more about his story and coming out to his family and the community around him.
