Dr. Phil

He had a good show yesterday about obesity.  I was very glad to hear him say that gastric bypass is not the "easy way out" like so many people think.  His own nephew has had gastric bypass and he has many family members with obesity.  

I wish Dr. Phil would convince Oprah to change her negative opinion of weight loss surgery!

I watched that Dr. Phil show yesterday.  It was a good one.  There is someone who posted today on on the main board who is going to be on oprah.  I guess it has something to do with her WLS blog.  She said she will let us know when it is going to air.

I am glad Dr Phil didnt knock the surgery.  I have his book and have read it a few times.  He has some really good mental prep stuff in it that would be good for anyone to read who is in the process of losing weight, reguardless what the means.  There are also some really good high protein meals in the book. 

Which Dr.Phil book are you talking about?  I have started Self Matters, just haven't finished it yet.   I always tivo it and watch it the next day, I am addicted. lol.  I saw the show yesterday and heard what he said about gastric bypass not being the easy way out, and believe me it wasn't easy and it still isn't, but sometimes I still feel guilty.  Not sure where that is coming from. Any suggestions? Thanks. Brenda

Yes I have Self Matters and one of his other books.  I might have have them mixed up and/or combined into one thought.  I will have to find them and check again.

Hey did ya all know Dr Phil is from Oklahoma? I beleive he was born in Vinita.. wow.. worlds largest Mc D and Dr P! Makes me so proud to be from Vinita.. lol.. Ok .. not really.  I didnt see that show but I have watched alot of his shows. He is confusing sometimes. He doesnt give people on his show any respect and he doesnt really help them find solutions, everything is kinda left up in the air. .. thats my opinion, the thing that burns me about him he will be totally rude to someone about thier weight.. when he is sitting there on the chunky side!

I got tired of Dr. Phil and started watching Ellen instead.  I think I read about the show in the paper so decided to watch it.  Dr. Phil gets kind of loud and he's worn out "What were you thinking!!!" and "How's that working for you?".  Ellen is more positive and cheerful but sometimes I get a little tired of her too.  I don'****ch every day.

I work and don't get to watch any TV, you guys gotta keep me posted! AmyBeth
