WLS is a religion. Most of the rules are accepted like pronouncements from on high, that apply to everyone.
I'm a WLS-Athiest.
As a WLS Athiest, I don't worry if anyone believes what I believe. I can accept that there are many ways to be successful, there is no secret, no single path to be taken; I don't label those that disagree with me as Non-Believers (wrong), or make-believers (deluded);
As a WLS Athiest, I question the rules. By questioning the rules, I understand the principles behind the rules, and what the rules are trying to acheive. I don't follow random rules, I use principle to guide my decissions;
As a WLS Athiest, I don't need to be scared into doing what is right, nor do I need the threat of punishment for doing what is wrong;
As a WLS Athiest, I don't feel guilt when I violate a principle. I make choices;
As a WLS Athiest, I am the final word on what happens to my body;
As a WLS Athiest, I don't have to concern myself with BELIEF in my surgeon, nutritionist, PCP, or anyone else, I concern myself with facts and reason, which not coincidentally, my surgeon, nutritionist, PCP, and other advisors provide me;
As a WLS Athiest, I don't take myself seriously.

And look at you - we started at about the same weight and you are at 164 already!! I'm so happy for you. I am 172 today! That's good for me. I don't know about my goal, I am 'older' so I don't want to look frail or weak or sickly so I'm not sure what I want to weigh. I guess I'll know it when I see it!!
