People are interesting - a take on Marsha's post below

I find this post very interesting I myself have heard comments like that and they almost always make me somewhat defensive...Anyway seems to me the arrogant people that say stuff like that are usually smoking a cig or have other addictive habits(not that I'm knockn smokers) but food addiction is really no different than other addictions in my opinion..and really the person had no business offering his anal opinion.

I guess i am rambling as well but........

Oh yea I myself am a former smoker of 20 yrs quit cold turkey 1 year ago Nov 08..i am tooting my own horn!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats on teh no smoking I quit October 1,2007 myself though I used Chantix to do it.

he is lucky you didn't walk over and just bop him upside his stupid little head!! people are so insensitive especially about things they have no business commenting on. you weren't even talking to him! congrats on the restraint you showed!

I get so tired of people saying I took the easy way out. I've gotta give props to Dr. Phil. A woman was on who wanted WLS, and her husband was against it. Dr. Phill made this statement, "Weight loss surgery is not the easy way out. It's a total lifestyle change. It's safe, and it's effective but it can have complications. YOU are not a candidate for WLS because you're a mess." He wanted the woman to get her head on straight before she did it because he told her she would self-sabotage.

Anyway, what I do with these people is say, "It's not easy." Then I walk away. They're not worth my time. Only we know what it's like to make the decision, and each of us has our reasons.

Charlotte - you are looking fabulous.  I love the new haircut!!!

Thanks, Kim! You're looking good yourself!
