Obesity & Me

Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.

I eat out of boredom. Every time I consume something of choice it's usually unhealthy because mentally I feel foods high in fat and sugar are exciting. I do know how to eat healthy, I just tend to consume exaggerated amounts of healthy foods when they are my chosen nutrition.

What was (is) the worst thing about being overweight?

Low self esteem is a big one. I struggle with accepting happiness at 272, mainly because the happiness 5 years ago at 160 for someone who is 5'8 was considerably all based on vanity.
