Unfortunately, being obese in today’s society is very challenging. To lose weight, we have to eat less and move more, but we can’t, for a variety of reasons. Then Weight Loss Surgery becomes an option, but the reality is for the surgery to work, we have to eat less and move more, which brings us right back around again.

Most of us know, deep down, that we can’t eat half gallon of ice cream, and lose weight; furthermore, if we eat that half gallon of ice cream, in one sitting, each night, we will gain weight. It has nothing to do with our bones being big or our troubles in childhood. Overeating, on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis has made us overweight and obese. Admitting that to ourselves is paramount in beginning to change our eating. Also necessary is understanding that in addition to eating differently, we have to MOVE differently. Even if we are limited to a wheelchair due our obesity, we will have to find a way to MOVE more.

In my experience, anyone, who is obese and wants to change, has to accept that as the reality we have created for ourselves. It may have only taken 5 years to get to a size 50 or maybe it took childbirth and divorce, or, whatever it took. The bottom line is we ate ourselves into a problem.

Currently there is a huge push in the health field to increase the availability for obese individuals to have weight loss surgery. There are more than one type, but the results are generally the same; massive weight loss during the initial 12-18 months after surgery. One problem that persists is the patient’s willingness to eat and move differently. Even if we have surgery, and find that we just can’t eat the amount of foods we used to, if we believe that the surgery is the magic pill to eat whatever we want, and not have to exercise, we find that either our weight doesn’t melt off us as predicted, or worse, we lose it and BEGIN TO GAIN IT BACK.

I have talked with more than a few people who have had weight loss surgery, enjoyed a massive weight loss and then watched in horror and disbelief as the weight came back. Why? The cause of the problem, eating too much and moving too little wasn’t addressed.

That is our struggle now…to help people make changes in their eating and moving, slowly, tediously slowly, so that it is easy to do and it will have PERMANENT results.
