Hey there!
I'm a 24 years-old Brazilian girl and I'm obese. I'm here to try changing this last part of my self-definition.
It's interesting how it is impossible to define yourself properly. What are the characteristics that make me who I am? Will losing weight redefine how I see myself or who I think I am?
When I was 7, I started having psychiatric issues, such as depression and food addiction, which triggered my weighting problems. Other few psychiatric diagnoses joined this list in the following years, trapping me in a cycle of psychological and physical problems. I have never been able to dissociate mental and physical health in my life. When ever I had a change in one of this parts of life, the other would follow.
Next month I am undergoing a Sleeve Gastrectomy. My aim is to lose weight and brake this cycle (and keep I broken). I know it won't be easy, but if it was easy, we wouldn't need such a drastic action, right?
It's blog is just so I can express myself and organize (or not) my thoughts.
Warning: You might find some posts in Brazilian Portuguese throughout the blog, sorry if you can't understand it, I will probably be too pissed of to write in any other language.
Well, feel free to invade my mind.
