Recently I've realized how fat and unhappy I have been for a long time. All my life. Even when I wasn't really overweight, I always felt that way. Ultimately it ended up becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy...I became what I always belived myself to be.
And now the task is to undo the damage done.
""One study on people who underwent surgery to lose weight reported that nearly all said they'd rather be a normal weight and have a major handicap, such as deafness, severe acne or legal blindness-or EVEN HAVE A LEG AMPUTATED- than be fat. All said they'd prefer to be of normal weight than be an obese millionaire." (Anne M. Fletcher.)
According to the "Body Mass Index" I am obese.
I feel obese. I want to believe that it won't be this way forever, but I just don't know. Maybe it will always be like this.
I quit smoking, so I must be able to lose weight too. Unfortunately, one cannot quit food cold turkey.
