Cheated?

Saying it's "cheating" is definitely unfair. These people don't have their own cows to slaughter, butcher, cook, skin, tan their hides, and make shoes out of, do they? They do realize that just because something isn't the most difficult way possible, it's not cheating?

I have this copied on my profile... it was posted here on OH 3yrs ago and I loved the simplicity of it. Thought I would share.... Weight Loss Surgery is the Easy Way Out! · WLS is easier than being short of breath constantly · WLS is easier than not being able to stand for more than 5 minutes at a time · WLS is easier than not being able to do my own shopping · WLS is easier than living with (or dying from) sleep apnea, diabetes, or hypertension · WLS is easier than having back surgeries every couple of years as my spine degenerates under my weight · WLS is easier than the unbearable pain in my hips, knees, and ankles · WLS is easier than facing the spectre of additional, life-threatening comorbities · WLS is easier than seeing my children's faces when I cannot participate in their activities · WLS is easier than worrying about how clean I am · WLS is easier than placing my faith in diets that the medical world acknowledges are 95% unsuccessful · I am certain anyone reading this can add eloquently to this list. So, next time someone suggests that this is the "easy way", just agree by saying: "Sure is, just like living is easier than dying" -author unknown
