Obesity & Me

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

I ate.. until i felt sick. And even after that i would still eat. For any reason.. its sad because in my mind i know it isnt ok what i am doing but then another part of me makes me get up and look around and find something to stuff my face with. All my life ive been overweight except a short period of time when i was 13-17 i was around 160 i felt fine. Then i guess i got comfortable and just ate my way to 300lbs

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

Not being able to play with my daughter. Being always self consious and not being 100% confortable with my bf in bed. And the worst is fearing of loosing my life.

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