I have been overweight most of my adult life. I have used my weight to hide behind and to protect me. However, the very thing that I have been doing is the very thing that has held me back from the things that I want. I have chronic joint pain, problems with my feet, back pain, and the inability to do some things that I used to enjoy doing. I am 3 days away from my surgery and I am so excited. I have worked hard for the last couple of years to do the best that I could to learn new behaviors, face my fears, and acknowledge who and what I am. I am an over-eater and I am addicted to food.
I have been so discouraged with weight losses processes in the past, that I am looking forward to the advantage that gastric bypass surgery will give me. I know that I still have quite a journey ahead of me, and still have many things to learn.
