The Quickest Way

So my step mother is taking the plunge and getting gastric bypass. A surgery that in my view is just an easy way out for people who have made lifestyle choices that have caused them to become morbidly obese. Before you say anything, I believe that I have the right to pass this judgment because I have battled being overweight for my entire life.I knew gluttony entirely too early in my years, and shortly after I graduated high school I found myself being two hundred and seventy pounds. With some simple changes to my diet, a little self control and an ipod I found my way down to two hundred pounds. So I am living proof that this "disease" is entirely curable. I digress though, and now that I am in culinary school, the thought of this surgery sickens me even more. Why in the world would you ever want to shrink your stomach to the point that you cannot even enjoy a full serving of food. Where you can be fuller than full after a few saltine crackers. What I am trying to say is that I can not justify limiting the amount and type of food I can enjoy, just for the simple satisfaction of my own self image. That's a disease.
