Choosing Between Health and Food

I need to lose weight. It’s been a struggle the past few months trying to lose weight. I ultimate goal is to lose 200 pounds, leaving me at around 140 lbs. I am 5’2″ so that should be a good weight for me. I’ve been honestly thinking about getting a gastric bypass to lose weight. I know that’s a huge surgery and it has many possible complications, but I really need to lose weight and I’ve not had much success staying on a diet. I love food too much. Plus when I’m on a diet I always feel like I’m missing out which makes me go off the diet “temporarily” and then it just plummets from there. I was on a diet for 3 solid weeks when I decided to get Taco Bell after water aerobics one day. Well that was a bad choice because I now go to Taco Bell every time after water aerobics. Now that’s just not right. I don’t have much will power these days. Not when it comes to food. How am I going to survive after a gastric bypass by eating less? How? I have no idea. No flipping clue.
I think I should go to a counselor to get this straightened out before I decide to get the gastric bypass. That would be a good idea. Maybe they can help me with a plan, one that I can stick with. I really need to lose weight and fast. I’m already pre-diabetic. I’m only26 years old, at 345 pounds. I can’t live like this much longer. It will start to eat away at my health. I’ve already got back problems due to this excess weight. Knee problems as well.
I think it’s time to make a decision on how I want to proceed with my life. I don’t want to become a 700 pound woman who they have to cut out an exterior wall just to get me out of the house. I refuse to let that happen. I have to choose between food and my health. And I think this time I’m choosing my health.
