I feel I can put this on here because it is a subject I know so much about~My whole entire life I have struggled with my weight...going up and going down and then finally getting it under control only to end up going up again.. Finally this year I have truly been able to change it for good and have finally gotten it and am accomplishing more than ever. That being said, I know that being healthy and eating right is something that I have to choose to work for and live for everyday. Obesity destroys not only your physical body and well being but your emotional well being and outlook on life as well. It consumes every step you take and every thought you have. Simple everyday things that we take for granted cant be done once you get to be a certain weight..simple things such as buckling your seatbelt or taking a bubble bath or even standing for 5 minutes. Just imagine not being able to stand up by yourself for 5 whole minutes. Its humiliating and embarrassing. And while some people may say that it was my own fault or people choose to be fat, that is not always the case. Their is always underlying issues that lead to obesity. My point in telling you all this today is that for the last few days it has really been on my mind and heart as I see all the kids that are struggling with being overweight. I remember how I felt when I was little and how I would cry when I couldnt do things other kids could do or when I got made fun of. That being said the thing I dont understand is how someone would have surgery to lose weight for their self but then continue to still feed their family the same exact foods that got them obese in the first place. How could you still feed your child the same crap that crippled your life to the point that you felt you had no other choice but to have surgery? It just really hits a nerve with me to see people do this ..If you care enough to change your own life by having surgery then please care enough to teach your kids how to make healthy food choices so their life isnt destroyed by obesity and so they dont have to go to school and get made fun of or feel like they cant do what everyone else can..Love them enough to cook healthy for them and not take them to old mcdonalds everyday.. I dont usually say too much but this has been bothering me for awhile and I hope that I can use my struggles with obesity to help someone else.. exspecially the kids...
