i have been on some sort of diet since i was 8 years old. this august 2007 i will turn 30. i thought about the fact that i have been dieting and failing for 22 years and it depressed me so much i didn't know what to do: get help or kill myself.
fortunately i had a dream that i had gastric bypass surgery one day while i was taking a nap. in the dream i was healthy and able to do activities i can't do. i am pretty sure i was doing yoga and running around with tons of energy. when i woke up i looked up all of the gastric surgeons in my area. i found a great center (the kane center in arlington heights, il) and began the process towards a new me. i don't know why i had that dream, maybe a tv commerical was playing in the background advertising lap band, maybe it was divine intervention, i don't know.
what i do know is that this process isn't a magic cure. however i have tried every diet program, every hospital behavioral health program, every rehab, every fad and i am still trapped in this gigantic body. it is time to make a change.
