Obesity & Me

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

I love going to the gym but i hate that platau i hit after 3mos of working out 5 days a week and loose absolutely no more than 20lbs.

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

Well Im always having pain in my hips, legs, ankles, and feet. I work at a hospital and im on my feet for 6+ hrs a day. I most definately wont miss that! Knowing that i only have 3 real stores that i can shop for clothes at. WONT MISS THAT @ ALL!! Also men seem to expect me to have a low self esteem and think that i should except any and all B.S. thats dished out to me! That i should just b happy that a man wants to b me.. I say BULL!!!! I am a big beautiful woman and will never except anything but the best for me! WHO IS WITH ME?!!!!

If you have had weight loss surgery already, what things do you most enjoy doing now that you weren't able to do before?

I have not had surgery yet. But looking forward to it!!
