I have been heavy most of my life. I remember having an addiction to food as a young person like 8. I have yo-yo dieted for years, and yes here I am. I am not doing this so I can be thin, I am doing this so I can bend over and tie my shoes, wash myself appropriately, and continue in my life long work. It's not about vanity it's about living. I want to be able to walk more than 10feet without getting short of breath. I want to be able to sit on a folding chair or outside chair without wondering "Is this going to hold me?" Yes I did this to myself. Why, I don't know. If I could answer that question I would be a millionare. I am afraid of what is in store for me with or without the surgery. I am scared, am I making the right decision. Will I die? Will I lose my mind? All I know is this is the answer to the question of what to do about my 'weight problem'. It's not a weight problem, it's obesity and it's going to kill me if I don't try to live in the solution.
