Unbelievable!!

 

 The following link is to a Christian thread that I post on. I am V.V. I posted the story about a man in the area whose WLS story made headline news. It was so awesome and I am happy for him. This guy gets on there and pretty much calls WLS "the easy way out" and "obese people are just over eating lazy people"....I cannot believe how ignorant people are. THIS GUY is a "fitness trainer" for the lazy obese people.

 

 

I wouldn't want him as my FT if my life depended on it.

being the story is about me maybe I should find him and kick his teeth down his throat. Actually he has to live with that kind of thinking so that is punishment enough.

HEY BEN!!

Congrats on your success so far. keep it up!

It always amazes me how ignorant some people's thinking is.  I just had surgery this week and have gotten the responses, "have you tried everything else", "it is the easy way out", and " I wish you would do it the regular way"!!  Well excuse me this is not easy! It is one one tool in my journey to weight loss and yes if something else had worked would I have been this heavy for the last twenty years.  People talk before they think, all the time, and it is really starting to bother me.

It really is frustrating that people have the wrong impression about this surgery, but eventually, as people are educated they will begin to see that this is definately not "the easy way out".  This is the most difficult thing I have ever done, but the most rewarding.  As with everything new(and I know that this surgery is not new by most standards) and unknown to most, there will be some skepticism.  The only way to change their minds is through education.  Instead of getting upset with them, try to engage their attention and give them a lesson on bariatric surgery.  You'll feel better for it and it will get them thinking.   It's too bad the fitness trainer has to be such a big uneducated jerk.  The fitness trainer at my gym thinks that I'm doing great and is a bit of a cheerleader for me, as well as the other people I talk to at the gym.  Not all skinny people think we're lazy....It's nice to know that they all struggle and some, if not most, are happy in our success.
