And that's what they don't get. I wish i could educate them all.

oh my god some girl literally asked me on instagram "if you got weight loss surgery, why are you still fat? didn't they suck all the fat out of you?" if looks could kill.....if looks could kill

hey girl. I know how you feel. I am on the gram if you would like to add. my "fitness" IG is our_fitforlifejourney and my personal is glitterandpyrimids. i stopped using my fitness one for a bit because I was being bombarded with teas and coaches and this and that and I'm just not into the BS. feel free to add. I am scheduled for my band to bypass revision in april, not sure which surgery your getting/ interested in getting.

I've never had to work so hard at cheating!!!! I measure, weigh, log, count, limit, exercise, drink and eat Protein, Protein, protein. Nothing easy about WLS.

This is partly why I started a blog. We need more people educating people on the true science of wls. So many people dying of obesity when there is help!! It's sad!
People have no idea how challenging post-op life can be, but how amazingly wonderful it is, too.

I'll admit ignorance before going all in on surgery. I thought it was cheating too. It wasn't until diet and exercise failed due to a broken body that I finally understood that not everyone's body works the same way. My husband has a friend who switched to diet soda and lost 150lbs. Seriously. He would go on and on about how easy it was to lose weight, as he'd eat an entire box of Cereal in one sitting. My husband nearly had to physically restrain me on multiple occasions. Meanwhile, I'd be measuring out my food, running, doing situps and busting my ass and not losing an ounce.

Eventually I realized that surgery is a tool. I used to compare my weight journey to a wall. No matter how hard I punched it or banged my head against it, it wasn't budging. Bringing surgery to the wall is the equivalent of getting a wrecking ball. There's no shame in using a crutch when you break your leg, or hearing aids to hear. There shouldn't be any judgement when you get assistance to lose weight either.
It is endlessly frustrating to listen to people call it cheating, but they just don't know any better - they never had to struggle like most of us did.
