ABC News: Woman Moves to 'Diet Capital', Loses Over 200 Pounds
"She had not always been overweight, but after turning to food as an emotional crutch in her early 30s, Blech was tipping the scales at a dangerous 468 pounds. Blech didn't like the idea of gastric bypass, which creates a smaller stomach and rearranges the small intestine through surgery and costs about $26,000.
'I felt it was a shortcut,' Blech, 39, said. 'I knew I had to make behavioral changes.' But Blech's solution was almost as extreme as gastric bypass, and more than three times as expensive."
Oh my gosh, someone made the news for taking responsibility for her own behavior! You go, girl! What a nice change from all the stories about people whining that they can't help themselves, their messed-up childhoods caused all their drug, overeating, drinking, etc., problems!
