Realizing I Had Problem with Weight and Food
Jan 31, 2008
Even though I managed to hide my struggle with food and weight from the world thru excessive exercise, diet pills, adolescence/college tactics with diuretics and laxatives in and out of college, I soon began to realize that I had issues that I could not lick; that the pills would not be healthy for a life time of choices in battling the disease of overeating. For most of my younger years and over into late 40's, I looked very good but physically, this disease beging to take it's toll on me and I could feel it in my joints, see it in my eyes of despair and loss hope.
I often thought, I don't want to be the typical African American female that gives up on herself. I just didn't and still, there are many of those who suffer in silence. That's when I began to get serious about looking at weight loss surgery, 2004 or 2005. I stopped, put it on hold, again until I got settled here in Atlanta. Moved from Houston Texas after selling my home and divorcing.
