Wow ....this is me exactly...well mostly!
"I had bariatric surgery for myself, but my choice affected many, many people. Of course, I didn’t consider how my decision would affect my family, friends, or co-workers because, in my mind, I was the only one affected by my obesity. I was the only one who couldn’t bend over to tie my shoes, walk around the block, fit in a restaurant booth, or have my picture taken. I was the only one with the aches and pains, limited shoe and clothing options, and poor health"

What an eye opening experience this has been for me. Funny thing is I too felt so well, and so very much too focused on myself, that volunteering made a big difference in my life. I'm better with people, communicate better and like myself a lot more. There were some small sacrafices, but in the end very worth it.
