NOT ANOTHER ONE!!!
Jennifer Joyner is a self-confessed food addict and tried everything to lose weight and in the end submitted to the permanent mutilation of her body by gastric bypass.
What a tragedy. Read her essay here.
No Jennifer, you are NOT addicted to food, but to CERTAIN INGREDIENTS in your food. Omit those completely and your cravings will just evaporate into thin air. I wish I had been able to explain this before you decided to permanently ruin your insides just to stop the overeating that was driven by your cravings.
Surgery is a mediaeval treatment. Lets get modern and start some joined- up thinking! Let's address the addiction which lies behind the obesity that kills people. These people die at their own hand. This is slow suicide. Gastric banding saves their lives yes, but its just one way to stop food addicts people killing themselves with food. There are other gentler, loving, healing ways.
Lets explore those other ideas in more depth, before we see gastric banding as the treatment of choice - or are we there already?
