People Mag on my S it List

The Today program featured the PEOPLE magazine editor with the issue of HALF THIER SIZE. And she says..."We wanted women that didnt take the easy way out with pills WLS or anything like that." Excuse the hell outta me? The easy way out?? Ill bet these women HAD the option a few times to pigout and get back on track. I am gonna write People with a complaint that they better re-word things or lose alot of readers through alienation. Sigh....thanks for letting me vent! Linda 263/175 7-25-06

i have heard things like that on tv too. i hate it. WE DID NOT TAKE THE EASY WAY OUT. this is very hard. what are people thinking, sandy

I had a similar experience recently (read about it in my blog). Some people on my state board said..."Ok...this is was the "easy way out" then I'm smart for taking it!" It's a change in perspective....helped me a bit. Christina S

I agree .These people are just idots that think this way. But who cares just goes to show how uninformed they are. But go for it girl send them a nasty letter. Kathi 276/199 07/18/06

I agree totally, write your letter and let them know that they will make some people very unhappy about their comment. This is not an "easy way" to weight loss. The easy way is some of the people that they have on their cover that have had a cook and a professional trainer making them workout. This has been the toughest 6 months of my life but I would do it all over again if I knew that I would be so healthy after the surgery. People Magazine needs to know that we aren't "lazy" and taking the easy way out to weight loss. Sonya

That is really rude and they are totally misinformed if they think WLS is the easy way out. And if pills worked, WLS wouldn't exist! Ugh!
