I am struggling right now to view my...tz is right. I am struggling right now to view my upcoming WLS as not a personal failure. Sometimes I feel like I've given up the battle and thrown in the towel. Like the fat won. Aaah... so much more mental work to be done. I've heard people in the past refer to WLS as the easy way out. I've learned in the past few months that it's anything but easy. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but it doesn't entitle them to be mean about it. We need to stand up for ourselves and educate people along the way. Good luck and I totally hope you win the top prize offered!!ChristineFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485711749671418060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705693411287649774.post-28101177332179776822012-01-15T09:45:43.594-06:002012-01-15T09:45:43.594-06:00Amen!!!

Sometimes people need to be educated (me included) I went into my first consultation with the attitude that I've finally given up and the surgeon had to set me straight about how much work it will still be, and like you've said it is a tool not a 'cure'. My goal is to implement health promotion programs in the schools and I feel like a hypocrite when I think about doing it at this size, but also feel like one because I'm going to have the surgery. I have to have the talk with myself you had with your co-workers :D It's important to keep educating the people around you...it's too bad they have to be such butts though. Good luck on the contest.tzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12586960868908412491noreply@blogger.com
