Real and True Stories of Obesity & Weight Loss Surgery
True stories, they inspire, make you laugh, make you cry, make you sad or make you mad. For those of us who are dealing with obesity, the road hasn't always been smooth. The has been some bumps, detours, and accidents along the way.
Seemingly, discrimination against obesity is towards the bottom of the list, in the universal fight for tolerance. This obesity discrimination has hurt countless numbers of overweight men, women, boys and girls.
Some choose weight loss surgeries to help rid them of their unwanted fat, others choose a weight loss program to help them reach their goal. And so many more find themselves stuck in an "obesity circle", where the pain and hurt from the past cripple them to a point where they are unable to make any change at all.
This famous quote from Austin Powers sums up what I mean by an "obesity circle". "I can't stop eating. I eat because I'm unhappy, and I'm unhappy because I eat. It's a vicious cycle.
~Fat Bastard from Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me
The first time I saw that scene, I laughed. The very next time I had a binge-eating session and felt the shame, guilt and disgust, I thought of that scene and cried. There are so many reasons why obese people become obese, stay that way, or decide to make a change.
