I love this show. I think it's the best show on television, actually. But last night's episode really pissed me off.

Dr. Kelso talks a girl out of having gastric bypass, saying that she only wants to take the "easy way out" instead of "working at it".

*spit*

I know we're not bypass patients, but does anyone here feel like they've taken the easy way out?

Absolutely not! It's not easy going though surgery, giving up a lot of the things you loved to eat/drink and exercising all the time.

I love my band, it is the best thing I ever did for myself, but it is not the easy way out.

I saw that too.. I look at my husband and said oh cute.. now that's what everyone is going to think.. TV influences people reaction so much.

I saw the show lastnight, and I agree with you Jonathan. But don't forget, guttony is one of THE big seven. Since we are all fat, we are all gulttons, and are undeserving of any compassion. If we just had a little more will power... if we were just a little more righteous.. It took forever to convince my DH that he was NOT taking the easy way out if he got the band. Of course, when you weigh 600 pounds, nothing is easy...

But I dont think this show is going to have much inpact because of all the negative feelings toward fat folk in general.

Spit, spit, and more spit. Last night on HOUSE, Dr. House also insulted an obsese woman. She was comfortable wearing a bikini, and he made wise cracks. Pig.

I'm with you Lisa that show really pissed me off. Especially the Doc who was talking about the little Girl. Too Bad that people actually feel that way.

Spit Spit and More Spit!!

I got mad too!~!!! I thought people would think that about me!!! Oh well, we can't stop the stereotypes and hopefully people that it won't take a show that has a toilet on the roof of their hospital very seriosuly. That girl was al least 300 pounds and will never lose weight and keep it off with out some kind of drastic move!
