I have always had a problem with my weight. Who hasn't? It was up and down all through my teenage years. As an adult, I have always been over 200 lbs. Until surgery, that is. I have found that this fight is so much more mental than I could ever imagine. I always thought it was a cop-out to say, "I'm an emmotional eater." I just said, "I like to eat and I am a big eater." Through this, I have found that I am an emotional eater. The problem is, it is all emotions that make me eat. Happy, I eat. Sad, I eat. Excited, I eat. Get the picture? :) Through this surgery, I was forced to get rid of all of the excuses, mental or physical. I have learned that food is fuel. That's it! Even though I have gotten off track in the last year, I know I have the knowledge and the support to get back on track. It is my decision and only I can make it. My anniversary was yesterday. I am 7 years out! (can't believe it!) I will get this back in check and live my life in a better way. No more adult obesity!
