Hi there. I am what is called morbidly obese and have struggled with weight all of my life. I have been trying very hard to deal with it myself but have not had much success.

A doctor at the local weight management clinic today told me that my only real option is weight loss surgery. The thought of surgery scares me but what is really bothering is that it feels like if I take the surgery I am admitting failure to losing weight. This is weighing heavily on me (pardon the pun).

How can I get past this negative thought and onto something positive so that I can really think this out and make my decision.
