weight loss methods and such

[Guest guest]

Dear Steve,

I am currently preparing to get a gastric bypass. You say obesity is

not a disease---it is only a result of bad behavior. I say it

started as bad behavior but it is a disease that many cannot

conquer. Most obese people who manage to lose gain it back and

that's at least 80%. I realized I could not conquer this. I also

wanted to walk off my weight, and I think it's very interesting about

walking the weight off or trying to, but I've had many problems with

my feet and the idea of getting lots of very painful blisters from

walking with all the heaviness still there is just too much of an

idea for me. Also, I have symptoms of MS which I've had for years &

other major problems.

I do believe I need to do it this way. The walking is a very hard

way to do it considering everything and I see the weight has not been

melting off as you probably thought it would when you started. It

was just too hard with all the blisters and many other problems and

when you rested for several days you were hungry and ate fast food

that made you gain most of it back---otherwise you would be down to

normal weight by now.

I wish the best for you and admire all your courage!!! I pray that

not only will you find a new healthy body but that your spirit will

be renewed also and you will find a close relationship with Jesus

Christ. God bless you.

Your friend,

Marcia
