I have been battling obesity for the past ten years. Growing up as a fat kid was extremely rough especially when my brother was slim. At the age of thirteen my father had me admitted to a hospital for being overweight, needless to say it did nothing, in fact when i was discharged, i think my eating habits became worse. Over the years i have been off and on diets, and diet pills with no results. I have severe depression and no self esttem. I hate to shop, and basically hate stepping out of the house. I despise looking in the mirror. My clothes dont fit and i find it hard to even walk to the corner store without my feet hurting. I am currently sick. I have asthma and its so hard to breathe. I know that i need to lose weight, not just for superficial reasons, but also for health reasons. It scares me to think that i might get diabetes or evwen die from being obese. I talked to a friend of my father, he did the surgury about two years ago and lost 200 lbs. He highly reccomended it. Since then, ive thought about it constantly. Its almost become obsessive to me. I feel its imperitive that i do this. I have to find out if my insurance willk pay for it. Fingers crossed, i hope it does.
