Well, let me rephrase that. I must overeat because I am 5'6" and weigh 300 pounds. YES, I have a bad weight problem. But I am not a face stuffer.

Stay with me I have a point.

In other words, being where I am sitting at any given table at any given meal I probably eat on average the same amount as all those around me. And I do not snack very much with the exception of some late night ice cream. I don't graze at work either. Just normal stuff.

So here it is. Yes, I am fat...I have always been fat since I was 5. I do not consider this weight having come from an eating disorder. My thyroid checks out normal. I know there are alot out there like me that are kinda perplexed as to why they are so big.

Diets do not work for me. A starvation diet will cause me to lose a little until i stop then right back on it goes.

WILL GASTRIC BYPASS HELP ME?

If I say in the psych exam that I do not believe I have an eating disorder will I be disqualified? Hell, Maybe I DO have an eating disorder because I eat normally. hmmmm. Maybe I should tell them I believe I have an eating disorder.

One thing, I believe I do suffer from "clean plate syndrome" I do eat all I am served but rarely ask for more. I also know I am capable of eating ALOT more than I do.

PLease excuse the rambling, but I am just looking for someone to say they get where I am coming from.

Thanks,

Mike
