Diary of a Pre-Reformed Fast Food Slut

2010 - Group Activity from Work

So here's the skinny bitches - I'm overweight! Heck if I'm being completely honest on the blog that can be broadcast to the entire universe, I would say that I'm fat - but I hate that word - so we'll just go with overweight because this is my blog. I understand that this admission will come as a shock to many people - because by simply looking at me you would never know! (PS: That's a little humor in case you haven't caught on yet.) 

Being overweight has something that I have battled with for my entire life it seems like. At the end of the day everyone has their demons that they carry around with them - the things that haunt them and we all have ways of dealing with it. Unfortunately for me mine came in the form of fast food, soda pop, chocolate cake, candy bars and cookies - as a result while others maybe able to successfully hide their coping mechanism, I have never been able to do so. 

I've tried every possible diet that every skinny bitch out there has suggested - Atkins Diet, Weight Loss Pills, Weight Watchers, Liquid Diet and Starve Myself Diet to only name a few! The good majority of them never worked and when the weight would return, it did so with a vengeance that would make Emily Thorne (Lead Character on ABC's "Revenge") look like a big ole teddy bear of a woman! 

In my life, because of my weight I've been ridiculed, bullied, laughed at and shamed in public because of the way I look. But instead of those things motivating me to change my lifestyle, to prove those people wrong and make a difference - it only did the opposite. It drove me to the nearest McDonald's drive-thru or Taco Bell to dull the pain with food. Food was to me like alcohol is to an alcoholic - but I've come to realize - - finally that a change needs to occur...something has got to give!

Later this month, I've made the decision to have Gastric Sleeve surgery.

So why right a blog? Why expose what will be one of the most trying times in my life? I don't know...I'm a sucker for social media that way I guess. I guess it's about not hiding anymore. No longer can I hide behind the crumbled upon wrapper from a $1 McDonald's Double Cheeseburger. Plus, I've always been better at expressing things in writing, than in vocal form when it comes to personal issues. 

I'm going on a journey and while no one may care or read this...it doesn't matter! I'm going to write here in my blog about the experiences I'm going through...the good, the bad and the ugly!
