Weight Loss Surgery

I don't believe in weight loss surgery. People have mentioned it to me that I should have it but I roll my eyes and ignore them.

Weight loss surgery is an oxymoron. I can't understand the logic of trying to get someone who has a problem with food and eating to have weight loss surgery when their life may depend on eating miniscule portions of food during the day. The trick is to eat miniscule portions of food, like a bird or a model, NOW without the major surgery.

I figure if weight loss surgery were a great idea, Oprah would have it.

Many people who go through this major surgery end up plumping up in a couple of years so why go through it in the first place. The expense. The miniscule portions of food. The potential life threatening surgery. I don't get it.

Okay so I'm fat. Most of the time I see myself as slim. At the moment I weigh 281, which is a lot. I'm not sloppy fat. I'm firm and packed tight.

Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois did research about weight loss and stress. They determined that stress causes weight to stay and linger. I think this is it in my case.

Just put me on a beach with a cool ocean breeze with no hurricanes where I can write and eat healthy food and you will see me slim in a few months.
