If I Didn’t Lose The Weight I Would Die
(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. It wasn’t a surprise when my physician gave me a long list of all of the issues I was facing. Blame for my poor health was mainly caused by the excess weight I was carrying. I was digging a grave for myself by living the way that I did.
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? I needed to lose the weight quickly, but I knew that would be hard since it didn’t appear overnight. 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. I was able to find a lot of information about the different ways to lose weight. After that I made the decision that now was the time to do something about it.
The first thing I did was to go to my doctor. My physician agreed with the idea to get healthy and helped me develop my plan. 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. I wished it was different, but the weight was not disappearing even when I did everything I was supposed to. I wasn’t happy, because despite all of my efforts nothing was changing even though a lot of time had passed by. I was looking for a plan that would work, but I didn’t know where to turn to find one.
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. His next idea was gastric bypass surgery. The surgery would shrink the size of my stomach and force me to take in fewer calories. I knew that this type of drastic measure was filled with peril. But I knew that I could not sit back any longer and ignore the problem that I had. If I didn’t change something soon, I could die at any moment. 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 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 me a little longer to start getting up and moving around. While my body was healing, I noticed that I wasn’t very hungry. My doctor eventually gave me the clearance to begin working out. There was no stopping me this time. It was successful this time. The weight was disappearing quickly. Within the first year after surgery I had lost over one hundred pounds. I kept up the average of over ten pounds a month through my second anniversary of the surgery. I had gotten my body back to a more normal status on the charts in my physicians office. The health issues I was facing had all been lessened. I am no longer working out by myself, I have been joined by other people that I love. If I hadn’t done this, I would have died, but now I wake up each morning and enjoy the new day.
