HI,

I understand how you feel. First, I agree it is not right for the governemnt to pay for people on public assistance to have the surgery, unless it is life threating. Everyone has the right to live, rich, hard working, and poor alike. But as you said they are now thin and still don't work. This is where I draw my personal line--Fair it is not! However, I try not to judge others. I have the advatage of beliving and trusting in the universe. Everything we do in our lives are by choice, OUR choice. If we choose to eat "junk" instead of healthy foods we pay the price of obesity. Yes, I am also obese, I am 5 foot nothing and weight 220 pounds. I am 100 pounds over weight. That may not seem like much to you, but if I contiune on this path in a few years I will be you! I do work my husband and I own a small business which is physical work and very HOT work in the summer months. Imagine being in a kitchen that is over 100 degress 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. Most discouraging thing. I lose not even a pound a week. Sad ha? I also work 4 nights a week, at my mothers Adult home for the elderly. Plus, I am studing to be a Natural Health Consultant. So, as you can see, I don't have much time to sit around stuffing junk food in my pudgy face. So why am I obese??? Looking back to when I started to gain all my weight, a tragic event occured in my life, almost 9 years ago, my 11 week old son died. He was born with a heart defect, we didn't know about untill he was born. Tubes cut and burned after c-section. (NO more children). I blamed myself, not for his death but for the loss of my husbands, son, my daughters, brother, my parents, grandson. And me well, I was to busy carrying around this huge load of guilt and sorrow for everyone else there was not time for my grief. I had to be the strong one. So, I found comfort in food. I still find comfort in food. Then it all catches up with you, I'm a walking Zoloft/xanix person. My point being to this long sob story is I am a FIRM believer that all disease and alliments including obesity have an emotional root. 9 years later mine is embedded in my subconsoious (sp). It's very painfull to dig up these emotions, experience them, heal them and try to move on. But, I feel it is the only way to become whole, healthy and thin again. One can only feel sorry for themseleves for so long.
Maybe if you take a long hard look at the events that took place when you started to gain your weight, you'll find a clue to your obesity.
As far as the surgery goes (right or wrong and just my thoughts) it's the easy way out. From what I've heard it comes with a price also, pain, vomitting, baby food, diahera, sometimes infection etc.. As you stated you are mobil and able to exercise. You have made an effort to improve your diet with the fresh produce. You just can't contiune to eat the "junk" food at the same time. I know I don't know anything about your life and I'm not pretending to. You are the only person who can take charge and heal yourself. I wish you all the best. You CAN do it! As others stated curezone is a Godsend. The wealth of information here is amazing. These are all caring people who are more than happy to advise or help in whatever way possible. Spend some time reading the other forumns, you will be in stunned at what you find, not just under the "diet" sections but under all of them.
Love,
Libra
