Firstly I would like to say, if I offended anyone with my, Is Surgery The Easy Way Out?, blog, I am truly sorry. It wasn't meant to be said as, the easy way out for weight loss for everyone. More so I had it running through my head that it would be an easy out for me.
With that, I got some good, feedback if you will, about what people may thing about weight loss surgery and me.
After one feedback, I was determined that I wasn't going to have the surgery, that I total got this in the bag and believed I could do it on my own. And boy did I let that feedback get to me.
Do I believe I can do this on my own? Yes, I have lost weight before. Enough to change my life? No. Could I do it to a point to change my life? Yes. But what I am most afraid of, is gaining it back. And a person of my weight, and background of obesity in my family, I would have a high chance of gaining it back and then some, and I would be to square one again.
So this is the deal, and I'm stickin' to it! My life, my choice, and I'm not letting any comments and/or feedback get in the way.
I am about 85% sold on the weight loss surgery. There are five different types that the doctor does, and there are two that I am very interested in. I am going to go through the process that my health insurance requires and when the time comes, I have the final say if I am going to do it or not.
Now does this mean I am going to eat out every night, and not get active. NO! I am, up to the point that I get ok'ed, going to work my ass off to get myself set up to a healthier life style. I am ready to be free of this body and this life style. I have a great support team, family, friend, and peers at work. Some more supporting than others, but those who aren't as supporting are just going to help make me stronger.
I always say, I do what I want. And damn straight I do! MY LIFE MY CHOICE!
I got this guys. Please be on board with me!
Sorry I feel like this post is all over the place, but I have limited time to a computer with an actual keyboard!
I am proud of you for making choices that you can live with. I too have contenplated surgery, but I am not all the way there yet. I am still at the point that I should be able to do this on my own. I am also at the age where it becomes harder to lose the extra weight. I will be here to support you in your decisions, and will conintue to offer support no matter what road you take.
