Al Roker Looks Back On His WLS

Over the long haul, he has certainly done an excellent job (except for at least a couple of worrisome "ups and downs" that I noticed personally ), but I just can't believe it was 20 years ago .. I thought for sure he didn't have it done until some time after my own, which was less than 16 years ago .. (he does "blooper" though in his video and state that "these are the pants I wore back in 2020 when I had my (WLS)" .. - he must have meant "2002")

Check out this bit of wisdom from the video:

"Here's the thing I say to the person in the couple who?s not struggling with their weight: Shut up," he said. "We know we're fat. We know we need to lose weight. You're nagging us and pleading with us doesn't help. In fact, in ways, it makes it worse. We're not going to change until something clicks within us."

He's right. A foodie, like any other addict, is not going to start making the changes necessary until their head is out of their ass and into the program to be successful.
