(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. My health was being affected because of my large stomach that seemed to keep growing. It wasn’t a surprise when my physician gave me a long list of all of the issues I was facing. The fact that was obese was at the bottom of the problems. I was digging a grave for myself by living the way that I did.
I could look in the mirror and see the problem. It was clear to me what the problem was, but how could I solve the problem? 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 able to find the support of others and began looking into ways that I could get healthier. The internet did not lack for advice on what a person in my situation should do. After that I made the decision that now was the time to do something about it.
I sought the advice of a medical professional. My physician agreed with the idea to get healthy and helped me develop my plan. Both my doctor and myself decided that I needed to take care of my weight issue now. We decided to try a basic diet and exercise program that would limit the amount of calories that I took in allow me to burn more calories. 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. A half a year went by, and I was still as fat as when I was started and I began to feel like a failure. 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 went back to my physician to see what he could suggest for me to try. My doctor suggested a method that would reduce the size of my stomach. The smaller stomach meant I would consume less food at one time but would eat more often. The surgery is not without risks. However, I was taking more of a risk by being severely overweight. 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. The surgery went fine and I came out of it later that day. It took several weeks to start my recovery. During that time I could hardly eat anything. My doctor eventually gave me the clearance to begin working out. I was determined to make this work. It was successful this time. The pounds were coming off of my body. Within the first year after surgery I had lost over one hundred pounds. After twenty four months, my weight had gone down over one hundred percent. People could no call me fat anymore because I didn’t have a belly that got to a door two minutes before the rest of my body. I have lowered my blood pressure, and my diabetes is under control. I have stayed committed to keeping fit and now have the company of my wife and children in my journey. My life was saved by the surgery and I look forward to many years of happiness.
