I've taken road trips, gone to parties, plenty of restaurants, social events, family get togethers, solo pig out sessions, eaten left over candy, brownies, bacon, chocolates and for the first time in 20 years, at the end of the week - no gain! This is like a dream world - now I know what it is like for skinny people who eat whatever they want - they are truly fortunate.If I had worked hard and eaten healthy, I would have probably lost another 15 pounds, but so what? The only regret is I haven't eaten enough healthy food but I consider this a phase, and plan to eat right...soon.
Why does it bother anyone to be told it was the easy way out? I couldn't do it on my own, I acknowledge that. If they don't overeat, smoke, cheat on the spouse, drink in excess, or deny themselves any other vice in life, then they are just born lucky anyway. I'm smart and successful, have a wonderful family, and I like to eat alot. I couldn't control it on my own, and this was an easy way out. Now I bound through life like a kid again, and I'm just grateful. I honestly feel sorry for fat people now, not for physical appearance, but because of the hardships it presents in life. It is hard work to lose way without this surgery, and life is short. Why spend your whole life fighting weight gain when you can live it up, eat enough to be satisfied, and not wobble, hobble, and ashamedly drool over the buffet?
