I found your account of weight-loss surgery very interesting; thank you for sharing it!Hollis M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14001361985052116536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397186280973403909.post-73455011885680973542010-01-18T15:12:37.149-06:002010-01-18T15:12:37.149-06:00Losing weight for good is very hard.

If you have a health problem (I do) then it's easier because you know if you do not eat a certain way, you will get sick. I don't feel thin is better than fat. I lost 95 lbs (weight Watchers) but I felt better when I was heavier. Now I am having problems with an illness which was dormant when I was larger. Even THOUGH exercising. Thin isn't a panacea. Health is the most important whether fat or thin and a lot of folks when they go on diets, they do not live healthy nor take supplements and in that case it's better to just make healthy food choices, exercise and let the chips fall where they may.

And it is a...Good grief, that is such a sad story. And it is all too familiar and happens far too often.<BR/><BR/>I lost weight using Weight Watchers and determination. It was pretty easy but I regained my weight due to problems at work and a medication called Wellbutrin. Now I am about to begin again and have no doubt that I can get the weight back off and this time I won't listen to what anyone else has to say about it. Thin is much better than fat. There are two things I like about being thin; I can cross my legs and all the clothes that I try on fit! good luck to you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397186280973403909.post-225356450890322832007-08-28T08:22:00.000-05:002007-08-28T08:22:00.000-05:00I have only been reading and learning about WLS in...I have only been reading and learning about WLS in the last four years, and I have always thought that it was a dangerous alternative.<BR/><BR/>Keep doing what you have been doing and getting as much education on being healthy as you can. Good luck on your journey.Glenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235387937765928152noreply@blogger.com
