The surgery has most certainly played a major role in changing my life, but I want you to know that it’s not a quick fix. It requires that you change your habits and I am still working hard to do that. I have had to teach myself that life is not as once knew it. Food is not what I have to live for, it’s only a source of energy to do the things that I now enjoy much more. Spending time with my family and friends, playing golf, doing home repairs and the list can go on and on. Weighing 452 pounds exhausted me daily and I still get tired at my current weight but I find now that exercise is a normal part of my daily routine I don’t get as tired nearly as often. I know that I have a long road ahead and when I do reach my goal weight the real challenge begins and that is maintaining my weight. It’s a battle that I will face every day. I have said in the past that this is my drug, food was my addiction and I think that is so true. Battling my inner demons daily will end with a successful result. I wanted to write this blog as another way to confront my weaknesses and share them with people who might have the same problems.
There might be some of you that are thinking about having a weight loss surgery yourself or have questions about the specific surgery that I had. I want to share my email if you would like to contact me directly. Please send all questions to mario@sheddingounces.net.
Until next time – Warrior in Training
