Related: About this forumJune 9..an anniversery of sorts...June 9, 1980..I started going to Overeaters Anonymous..
After a year or so...I lost about 60 pounds..from 215 to about 155...I have been at somewhere between 155 - 165 for over 38 years..In 1982, I threw the scale away, and have not owned one since then...To make a long story very short, I had tried lots of diets and ideas, but Overeaters Anonymous saved my life..I got the weight off, and kept it off for more than 38 years. Without the program and the meetings, I would have died.

(61,175 posts)3. Something I should have probably done
I am scheduled for gastric surgery next month. Could end up being a bypass depending on what they find.
I might have avoided this if I had done something 30 years ago.
Good for you
