My chance of attaining a normal weight without surgery was 1 in 1,290. My doctor pushed me to consider the procedure. Then the panic attacks came. They changed everything. I didn’t see a surgeon, or a nutritionist. I consulted a psychologist.

There are many reasons for being overweight. Mine was an inability to let go of pain, of worries, and of fear. Food helped me numb my brain so I could continue to live with emotions that hurt me harder the more I tried to resist them.

Until the inevitable happened. Until my panic attacks taught me how to let go.
