Health, Fitness, and Obesity Surgery

Today I was pretty healthy I guess. I watched what I ate, drank a lot of water, and ran twice on the treadmill. I ran around 1 or 2pm, and then at 8:15pm again. So I'm looking to continue this the whole week before I go back to Boston, so I'll be motivated to get up and go to the gym before classes and run my fat ass on those treadmills.

So anyway I found this article on CNN.com, "Obesity surgery triples among U.S. teens" and I read through it and such. Seems that more teens are getting gastric bypass surgeries and the like than adults. However, it also says that studies show that there are less risks, complications, length of stays in hospital, all of which lead to less overall cost of everything totaled. I don't know how I feel about gastric bypass. Obviously I think it should be the last-last-last-last resort to anyone if anything else really does not work. But I believe that for some people it really is their only hope. Eh. I hope I never have to do anything like that. I want to be skinny by summertime. That gives me a couple months to reach my goal. Here's to me sticking to it.
