Just lost a friend to Obesity (very Sad)
I am really feeling very sad, angry, frustrated, and scared for so many of my family members. A woman I have know for years through an on-line spiritual board has just passed away due to obesity. The end cause was diebeties (sp). However, we have talk for years about eating habits, weight, and the choices we make to get better.
I lost my father to heart failure. I have done a lot of damage to my body as a result of this 
disease and I see my other sister, my brothers, my oldest son, and my daughter-in-law heading down this deadly path.
I am so frustrated that everything tells us we should just be able to stop putting the food in our mouth or to make ourseves get up and exercise yet for so many it does not matter how much we try it is not enough.
It took me 4 years to decide to have surgery because I could not accept that for whatever reason I could not do this by myself. I kept buying into all the products, the dreams, the hopes that something would make the desire to eat until my body expanded stopped. Yet, so many times I did not think I would make it for very much longer.
I will not let this @#%$ disease kill me and I can no****ch anyone else I love die from it.
