What can you do to regain your health?

Dieting

You could go on another diet. Unfortunately, although diets work for a little while, the effects seldom last, and the answer to morbid obesity needs to last a lifetime. No diet program, even the drug programs such as the Phen-Fen or Redux programs, are sufficiently powerful, or adequately long-lasting, to produce the necessary sustained weight loss in the severely obese.

Diet Pills

You could investigate diet pills. Any strategic medicinal treatment for obesity must recognize that obesity is a chronic, stigmatized and costly disease that is increasing in prevalence.

Surgery

You could look at how much your health is at risk, and consider taking some risk to achieve a more lasting solution: surgery to change your body's physiology, and to help you to gain control of your weight. Bariatric surgery can achieve marked, lasting weight reduction in over 85% of morbidly obese patients.
