Honestly thinking this through

[Redcobra 1]

Why am I investing 17 thousand dollars and risking complications with my health and am willing to endure the physical and mental pain?

Because I NEED to lose 100lbs

But do I really need surgery to do that? My dad says no. He says "you can do it." But I can't!

Can't? or am I not willing to? I always like what Colin Powel said "Overwhelm the problem with solution."

I am going to overwhelm the problem with vertical sleeve gastrectomy surgery.

But honestly is that a cop out? Maybe all it is is something that pushes me to the point of no return. It will be harder to fall off the wagon with a stomach thats 10% of its original size. And, I'd surgically remove procrastination. No going back.

But honestly, if a strange man knocked on my door with a contract that stated if I lose 100 lbs in 1 year without WLS, i would get a wire transfer of 100 million dollars into my bank account (tax pre paid). Would I NEED the surgery then? Would you?

For 100 mil I would lose it in 6 months.

But, then I would gain it back in one or two years and be right where I am now.
