You've probably read or written a similar story: always obese, always dieting, never self-accepting.  
Health issues run rampant in my family.  I see my mom struggling with diabetes, and her sister struggle with diabetes and heart disease.  I'm doing all right so far.  But what's really prodded me to choose wls is how differently I am treated as a fat person.  I've dieted and gotten down to 230 pounds, an people treated me with more respect, courtesy, and kindness than they do now.  It's as if people assume my IQ is inversely proportionate to my weight.
And I hate it.
