Are youSeeking Permanent Lifestyle Change?

                             

 

I am a strong believer in doing what works best for you. Diet and lifestyle change is the first step in getting control over bad habits and choices that lead to weight gain.

 

Biggirllifestyle.com has researched three conventional weight loss practices most commonly used by obese women: Bariatric Surgery, Lap Band Surgery and Shrink Yourself-The End to Emotional Eating.

  

·         Bariatric Surgery                 

Bariatric Surgery is designed for obese individuals with a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 35 and above. Obese women are required to be at least 80 pounds overweight.


Applicants must have a life threatening condition or be at risk for a disease. The procedure requires a large incision (open surgery) and is permanent. The surgery involves surgically cutting the abdomen and redirecting the small bowel to make the stomach smaller.  The individual feels fuller quicker and consume fewer calories.  Initially, individuals who opt for this surgery tend to shed two-thirds their weight within two years; however, without proper diet and exercise it is probable the patient will gain the weight back. The bariatric Surgery costs range from $18,000-$35,000.

·         Lap Band Surgery             

Lap Band Surgery is becoming more popular in the weight loss community. The surgery has the same criteria as the bariatric surgery to qualify the applicant; however, the procedure is done with five small incisions (closed surgery) and is reversible. The band can be loosened or tightened over time. The lap band is a silicon band that is placed around the upper part of the stomach to make it smaller. The result of this procedure will decrease the individual’s appetite, which will result in weight loss. Weight loss rate will depend on the diet and exercise of the patient. An individual following a healthy lifestyle will loose 40%-50% of their weight within two years. The Lap Band Surgery costs range from $4249-$17,000 and follow-up lap band adjustment office fees are $35-$200.

 

·         Shrink Yourself             

Shrink Yourself is an online program at shrinkyourself.com. Shrink Yourself  is designed to uncover the emotional reasons why an individual eat, then gives the individual tools to help them grasp control for a healthy lifestyle. The individual will need to take the first step in surrendering their mental behavior with food, have access to a computer and be committed to a monthly fee. Shrink Yourself requires the individual to reflect and uncover emotional triggers to unhealthy eating. The program is designed to work from emotionally from the inside out to break the cycle of obesity. Shrinkyourself.com offers a 12 week program for $119.85 or a monthly option for $39.95 for 3 months.

 

Procedures and Risk:

Obesity kills over 300,000 people a year according to Center of Disease Control. While many obese women are searching for a solution, Bariatric Surgery seems to be the obvious choice for the weight loss seeker; however, Bariatric surgery is the most expensive weight loss practice. It is a permanent open surgery that is not reversible and can cause complications such as infection, pulmonary embolism, hemorrhage and a myriad of other health issues. Lap Band is a Laparoscopic surgery causing minimal surgery; however, the band could slip off the stomach and possibly cause inflammation from rubbing on the stomach. www.shrinkyourself.com  is a self help program and requires the individual to confront issues of emotional eating. The program requires the individual to be proactive in the quest for a permanent healthy lifestyle change. Results will depend on the passion and commitment of the individual.

 

           Cost:

Bariatric Surgery is the most expensive, starting at $18,000-35,000. Lap Band Surgery starts at $4249 and ends at $30,000. Shrinkyourself.com offers a 12 week program for $119.85 or a monthly option for $39.95 for 3 months.

biggirllifestyle.com wants to know what you think about the three weight loss practices and welcome you to share your personal stories if you have or know someone who has participated with any of the weight loss practices we have shared with you today.

As a big girl myself, I favor Shrink Yourself-The End to Emotional Eating, based on the safety of the program practice, the practical cost, and the programs interest with dealing with the mental and physical components with the individual that will last a lifetime.

It is about lifestlye change for me. I have tried many diet plans and my motivation dissapeared when I did not follow the plan exactly. For me, it is time for change fromthe inside out and no matter what weight loss practice you choose, we are in this together.

Remember to love yourself and embrace who you are! One Love!
