I suck miserably at losing weight. I bet everyone does if they are honest with themselves. I met a woman today that said she just had gastric bypass surgery two days ago. She looked great. I did not think she was fat. Oh sure, she was maybe 30 pounds over slim but she looked fine and normal. No way she said. She weighs 232 pounds, what two six foot men would weigh, she said. All around her belly and the doctor said that was dangerous and she said that was nuts. It would take two years for her to get the surgery in her native Canada with their medical system and she could not wait. She would not wait. She had tried everything to loose weight and just couldn't so she spent 17,000 dollars, cash and had the surgery here. What was wrong with me that I could not see she was fat? what was wrong with her that she would risk surgery and allow a doctor to slice her up to loose belly fat. Oh my god, what am I missing?
