I Have To Start Somewhere

I am a fat girl.

I don't get dates.

I see the connection.

I have to start somewhere.

What can I do? I have to do something. My weight has ballooned to over 300 lbs. I have no social life. And it has to stop.

I have given this a lot of thought and prepared myself mentally for a good 6 months. I am going to go on the gastric bypass diet without having the surgery. I can't really afford the surgery (even with insurance). And I also really don't want anyone cutting into my body for anything other than dire, emergency circumstances.

This blog is an anonymous way to chart my progress and write of my frustrations, hopes and fears in this journey that I will begin on Monday. A trip to the grocery store tomorrow is in order to procure the jello, broth, etc. for the initial clear liquid stage that kicks off this diet.

And so it begins ...

hi, i stumbled upon your blog. it sounds like you're recovering from surgery and doing very well. i hope your medical diet planning is going well also. i am overweight and just began seeking medical help, hence a less than savory diet, but much like you, became tired of the situation. so, good luck, and congrats! you should be proud of yourself for taking control!
