The easy way?

[fedup08 22]

I always laugh and say that signing up for a diet for the rest of my life is not the easy way. Starting a diet on monday and quitting it by Thursday is the easy way!!

I'm well aware what we go through, but we made a choice for this.... I'm just saying I see both sides. It's called being objective.

Even if it were an easier way, what's wrong with that? Most people don't walk to work if they've got other options, they don't hand wash their clothes, they don't build a fire to cook over, and they don't heat their bath Water on the stove. Why are people so critical of us taking an easier route when everyone does things "the easy way" in every other aspect of their lives?

I once said to my surgeon that this was the easiest thing I have ever done in terms of weight loss and he almost fell over.

I went on to explain that by easy I don't mean it in the same negative context that those ignorant of the facts might view it. I mean easy as in I now have a static, clear and present tool that makes me accountable for my actions and as a result my anxiety about taking off and keeping off, excess weight has gone from an off-the-charts level to nil!

I do think the folks who carelessly call WLS "easy" are out to lunch.

Anyway, don't worry about what nay-sayers think. We all know the real deal about this life.
