I'm a 34yo woman who's been overweight or obese all my life, since early childhood. I'm attractive, educated and successful, but I often struggle with feelings of worthlessness & disgust & a lack of confidence-all tied directly to my weight and body image. Things came to a head this weekend when I admitted to my husband of nearly 4 years that, deep down, I don't feel that I deserve to be truly happy because I'm fat (and, therefore, a loser). After looking at this site for a month, I've joined.
I was against gastric bypass surgery. I thought that resorting to it meant you had given up on yourself and were surrending your control. Even after my sister had it almost 5 years ago & a good friend had it 2 years ago, both with terrific results and few complications (my sister had hair loss, occasional dumping syndrome and still suffers from anemia), I opposed it. Well, guess what? They're 1/2 their former sizes, and I'm still fat... hell, fatter. Changed my tune & am very interested now!
