Learning to Love Herself Again: One Woman's 300 Pound Weight Loss Journey

Three hundred pounds lighter, a Medford, Oregon woman, is learning to love herself again.

Three years ago Kathy underwent gastric bypass surgery, which proved a life-saving decision. Before surgery, she weighed 480 pounds and has now lost close to 300 pounds. As her weight dropped, she learned to understand herself along the way. "Life is good," she says. "It's always been good, but when I weighed more I had to make adjustments. I'd go to one of my son's games and I couldn't sit on the bleachers. I had to bring my own chair. Or I'd go into a restaurant and have to know which booth had a table that could be moved. Even seat belts were a problem. I don't have to worry about any of those things anymore."
