(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. I was very obese and my body was not working the way it was supposed to anymore. My health problems included diabetes and high blood pressure not to mention back and joint pain. All of them were related to my weight. I was digging a grave for myself by living the way that I did.
I couldn’t hide the fact that I was obese from anyone. It was clear to me what the problem was, but how could I solve the problem? It took me years to get my body into the shape I was, but I didn’t have years to fix it. 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. There was no argument that it was imperative for me to begin a fitness regimen before it was too late. It was decided that the best way for me to fight the fat was by limiting my food intake while also maintaining a daily fitness regimen. 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. After six months I had not lost a significant amount of weight and I was getting discouraged. I didn’t want to give up trying, but I was clueless about what to do next.
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 began my new quest where my first attempt had begun, at my medical professionals office. The plan was for me to have a stomach stapling procedure. He said this would only allow me to eat small amounts of food at a time. The surgery is not without risks. It would be more dangerous for me to stay as fat as I was. There was no more time for me to sit back and do nothing about my weight issues. I turned to the people I love to giver me the guidance and support that I required when thinking about the possibilities.
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. The amount of food I consumed during my recovery was very small. I started a fitness regimen as soon as I felt strong enough to do it. I was not going to accept anything short of success with this plan. And it was working. The weight was disappearing quickly. Twelve months after the operation my weight loss surpassed the century mark. I kept up the average of over ten pounds a month through my second anniversary of the surgery. My doctor says I am no longer considered obese, I am just overweight. The health issues I was facing had all been lessened. I have stayed committed to keeping fit and now have the company of my wife and children in my journey. I have taken back my life from the monster that obesity is, and I look forward to never having to face it again.
