Like a lot of you reading this, I have been overweight for most of my life. I am the fourth of five children and the only obese person in my family. Its hard and I'm sure you know that too. I love food and eat too much of it! I have tried just about every diet out there and after yo-yo dieting for years, I have decided that its enough. Weight loss surgery is the tool that I have chosen as my last resort. I'm looking for a permanent solution and this is it. Only my husband and three of my friends know that I am planning to have surgery. I fear my family's reactions. I dread going to work and having to answer people when they ask me what I have been doing to lose so much weight. I am hoping that the "I eat six small meals a day" approach will work! But at the end of the day, its really no one else's business and I am at peace with my decision.
