Hard

[Linda Pittsburgh]

I just have to say none of this is easy. I was morbidly obese at 310 and friends who way 180 were saying I was taking the easy way out to lose weight.

No, it certainly is not easy. And there are so many people out there that think it works like magic. I have to be honest, I thought it was "cheating" for years. I saw that you just had your surgery 10 days ago. Congrats. It IS hard, but you can do it. Aside from the long term health benefits, it's so much easier to MOVE! I haven't felt this good in decades. Follow the guidelines your doctors gave you. Once you start feeling better and can actually chew food again, it gets a little easier. Good luck.

no it’s definitely not the easiest way out . It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my entire life and I’m going to try really hard to keep the weight off because it feels so good to be thin and healthy again . Yeah before surgery you could eat anything . All the junk you wanted Twinkies, soda, cakes, pies , huge steaks and hamburgers. You know what I mean.now I’m eating better .I do have an occasional sugar free slice of cheesecake or pie now and then or a small bowl of dips but it’s all I’m moderation and haven’t dumped in a long time exce for today’s iced coffee which I’m still feeling the effects of . Well now I know no more coffee. So I just learn from trying new things to eat or drink that were approved by my bariatric team

Sometimes that old saying "who needs enemies with friends like these" rings sooo true! Besides, they're not in the same place as you are, and I'm sure they've got their own struggles. It's so easy for some to be a one man judge and jury when it's not about them.

Only people who want to see you succeed will see that this is NOT the easy way out.
