(There was no doubt about it.~I couldn’t deny it any longer~It was a fact that was very obvious.} My body was sick. I was grossly overweight, and the problems that the weight caused were becoming more obvious. My doctor diagnosed me with several different maladies. The fact that was obese was at the bottom of the problems. To put it simply I was eating myself to death.
I couldn’t hide the fact that I was obese from anyone. The question was, What was I going to do to change? The issues I was facing had taken a long time to develop, but time wasn’t my friend as I tried to solve the issues. I was lost and didn’t know where to turn when I went searching on the internet and found something called the biggest loser forum, where there were chat rooms full of people who were fighting a weight loss battle of their own. I was given a list of ideas from others who faced similar problems along with some links to even more information. The internet did not lack for advice on what a person in my situation should do. Once I had decided that it was either now or never to get healthy, I was ready for the next step.
I sought the advice of a medical professional. My physician agreed with the idea to get healthy and helped me develop my plan. There was no argument that it was imperative for me to begin a fitness regimen before it was too late. The first approach that I was going to take was the oldest one out there, control what I eat and start a workout plan to use more energy than I took in. I stuck to the diet despite my cravings for all the foods that I was not allowed to eat any more, and I did my exercises faithfully every day, even the six pack ab exercises, that were on the video I had found in the attic. I wished it was different, but the weight was not disappearing even when I did everything I was supposed to. I wasn’t happy, because despite all of my efforts nothing was changing even though a lot of time had passed by. I was looking for a plan that would work, but I didn’t know where to turn to find one.
I went back to my doctor and told him it was time for me to find a way to learn how to lose weight fast, and what would he suggest that I try next to accomplish this goal since I had run out of ideas. I began my new quest where my first attempt had begun, at my medical professionals office. His next idea was gastric bypass surgery. He said this would only allow me to eat small amounts of food at a time. Any time someone cuts into your body there are dangers involved. It would be more dangerous for me to stay as fat as I was. Delaying taking action was no longer an option that I could consider because of my poor health. I took this information back to my family and we decided that I would go head with the surgery.
The morning of the surgery came and I was wheeled into the operating room. There were no complications to report by the doctor and I was sent home shortly. It took me a little longer to start getting up and moving around. While my body was healing, I noticed that I wasn’t very hungry. My doctor eventually gave me the clearance to begin working out. I was not going to accept anything short of success with this plan. It was successful this time. The pounds were coming off of my body. Twelve months after the operation my weight loss surpassed the century mark. I kept up the average of over ten pounds a month through my second anniversary of the surgery. My doctor says I am no longer considered obese, I am just overweight. I decreased the amount of medication that I had to take just to take care of the problems that had been caused by my weight. I still exercise everyday and now my family joins in with me. I have taken back my life from the monster that obesity is, and I look forward to never having to face it again.
