Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.
I had given up on dieting prior to hearing about bariatric surgery. Too many yo-yo's, down and way up, too many opinions about what is right, and what is wrong. Too many people making comments, too many people worrying about me... Too much physical pain. Walking up hills became a struggle. It seemed like a pain in the knee would be followed-up by a pain in the ankle or back. Too embarrased to eat out at restaurants because I knew that I couldn't fit in a booth. Too embarrased to eat in public because I could feel the glaring eyes wondering why I was eating that whole plate. Too ashamed to even go to church because who wants to wear a suit that is too tight and uncomfortable.

Delaware X-Country 5k...
posted on 11/25/07 10:41 am
I ran a slow 31' 5k today.   This was my first cross-country run (and probably my last).  The race was held at Brandywine Creek State Park.  It was grueling, cold, muddy, and wet.  There were so many hills that I felt like I was on a broken escalator the entire race.  The downhill stretches were worse than the uphill, since you had to be so careful about not tripping on stones or tree roots.  I knew I was in trouble when all of the other runners were wondering whether they had the right spikes on for the run.  Spikes, are you kidding?   Think I will stick to the street races from now on.
