(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. My health was being affected because of my large stomach that seemed to keep growing. 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 told if I didn’t do something about it now, I would die before my time.
I could look in the mirror and see the problem. 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 given a list of ideas from others who faced similar problems along with some links to even more information. The internet did not lack for advice on what a person in my situation should do. Once I had decided that it was either now or never to get healthy, I was ready for the next step.
The first thing I did was to go to my doctor. He had several recommendations about what I should and should not do. The main thing was that he agreed that I should do something about it. 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. Despite my efforts, I was not making progress. I wasn’t happy, because despite all of my efforts nothing was changing even though a lot of time had passed by. 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. My doctor agreed that the diet and exercise program did not work. The plan was for me to have a stomach stapling procedure. The surgery would shrink the size of my stomach and force me to take in fewer calories. Any time someone cuts into your body there are dangers involved. However, I was taking more of a risk by being severely overweight. There was no more time for me to sit back and do nothing about my weight issues. Since I was not the only one who was going to be affected by the surgery, I include my wife and children in the discussion of the surgery.
The day finally came when I went to the hospital to try to change my life. 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. My doctor eventually gave me the clearance to begin working out. There was no stopping me this time. It was successful this time. I was watching the fat melt off of my body. Twelve months after the operation my weight loss surpassed the century mark. After twenty four months, my weight had gone down over one hundred percent. My doctor says I am no longer considered obese, I am just overweight. I have lowered my blood pressure, and my diabetes is under control. I still exercise everyday and now my family joins in with me. My life was saved by the surgery and I look forward to many years of happiness.
