14 pounds lost before surgery. My first ticker is when I hit onderland: this was my goal when I started on this journey. I want to focus on that right now...once I get there I can reevaluate.

My second ticker is my dream goal. Even if I only visit there for a short time, it would be nice to see that number just once. I am pretty sure I'll need plastics to hit this goal.

I love the people who say I should have just ate less and moved more. Really? I never thought of that. I had WLS for nothing.

Every doctor I have is skinny. All they say is calories in calories out eat less move more answer to all my problems right. I have one doctor who says anyone can loose weight sitting on their couch just eat less. I can gain 2 pounds watching the fast food. Commercials.

"I can gain 2 pounds watching the fast food. Commercials."

*clapping* Amen to that my friend! Me as well!

I know for a fact there are overweight people who are heavy simply because they take in more than they expend. I'll even cop to being guilty of this to SOME extent myself. But... After trying countless weight loss programs, fad diets, tricks, etc... and not losing weight - I can't STAND when people say this to me.

When people say to me, "Fat people just need to eat less and do more." I retort with, "Really? Because if that was the end-all-be-all solution? THERE WOULDN'T BE A FAT PERSON ON THE PLANET!!"
