Sticks and Stones...

I have been called a lot of names over the last 50+ years. You know the old saying, "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me..." Well, being labeled "Morbidly Obese" is the most hurtful label that has ever been placed on me... and I own that. The medical industry created the label, but I stuck to myself... To me right now, these are the most foul two words in the English language... one is the stick, the other is the stone.

These two words are one of many reasons I am seeking help with weight loss surgery.

Yep, was described as severely morbidly obese...and super morbidly obese.

Pig fuc*ers.

But, these are true medical terms that describe the staging of obesity. I think it puts it in Class III or IV maybe?
