Hello! I am new to the group. Like most or all of you, I am obese. I have gone up and down on the scale throughout my life. I went on my first diet at 10 years old. Currently, I am trying to improve my health habits by exercising and making dietary changes. I weigh the most I have ever weighed; the last time I weighed myself it said 236. I am not a shallow person. Although my feelings have been hurt before, I don't value my looks more than my character and intelligence. Therefore, it's not primarily for me about becoming thin. Honestly, I personally find women with curvier body types attractive. However, 236 is quite heavy for my body type. I am only 5'5. The truth is, I don't want to die young. Diabetes and heart disease run in my family and I am scared of getting sick. I am also scared of being in poor health in middle age. Even though I am fat, I am an active person. I love to swim and hike and travel. I am afraid that my quality of life will suffer if I do not lose body fat. At the same time, it seems like such a daunting task. I have a high lean body mass for my sex, but I would still need to lose fifty pounds to not be obese. I know it is possible to lose fifty pounds, but it still seems like a lot. It seems like you can do everything right for a month and lose two pounds, but if you eat one dessert or a burger it's like you gain all of it back. I really feel determined to do something though.
Cause it´s hard to make the decision of change our habits and our life style.
You have many options to increase your life quality, one of them is bariatric surgery, have you ever heard about it?
When combined with a comprehensive treatment plan, bariatric surgery may often act as an effective tool to provide you with long term weight-loss and help you increase your quality of health.
Bariatric surgery has been shown to help improve or resolve many obesity-related conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and more.
Frequently, individuals who improve their weight find themselves taking less and less medications to treat their obesity-related conditions.
Significant weight loss through bariatric surgery may also pave the way for many other exciting opportunities for you, your family, and most importantly, your health.
