Wow, Whitney, that was EXACTLY the light-bulb moment for me. In June, I think it was, I was thinking to myself that people must lose weight before they get old, 'cause you almost never see really old fat people. Then I realized that they didn't lose the weight, they died before they could get that old. And that was my own future if I didn't have the surgery. Just my two cents...
