Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.
I have been in a constant battle with what I call "food addiction" my entire life. I truly enjoy eating. I come from a large, southern family and gatherings always meant lots and lots of food. I have dieted off and on and lost weight, but I've always put it all back on with a few extra pounds to boot. I had gotten to the point where I resigned myself to the fact that I was going to be overweight forever. I first started looking into WLS about a year ago, maybe this will help.

You know...this sucks
posted on 2/15/09 2:51 pm
I had my surgery in March of 2008.  At that time, I was determined to not be a slave to candy,cookies, and other crap that had turned me into a diabetic, hypertensive, sweaty, jiggly tub of goo to being with.  I did VERY well the first few months, but then my 1st birthday after surgery rolled around and I had a little bit of birthday cake and ice cream...hey it's my birthday and it's only once a year and all...so.  Well, I started to occasionally have a little bit of cake and ice cream.  Well, then here comes halloween and I had a few peices of my kids' halloween candy.  Hey it's only once a year and well...yeah, that too.  Well then comes Thanksgiving and Christmas and "Hey it's only once a year..." Same darn thing.  I'm now to the point where I'm back to eating indiscriminately.  Alot less, mind you, but still I find myself popping food in my mouth just for the heck of it.  Even when  I'm NOT hungry!  What's wrong with me?!  Well, I decided that after Christmas I was done with holiday eating.  Well, here's what sucks:  It NEVER ends.  NEVER.  There is always something (Valentine's Day) coming along to derail your plans.  You (me) have to realize that you can't be "good" just on the "everyday" days.  You have to control yourself on special occasions also, because there always seems to be a "reason" to overeat...hey, it's only one day out of the year can quickly turn into an everyday thing.
