Gastrobypass is cheating!
Posted 8 months ago by Mimitz in Diet and Exercise | Submit idea in this category
I have lost nearly 50 pounds since January of 2009 and expect to lose another 40 before the end of 2010. How'd I do this, you ask? I changed my life style! I stopped over eating and started to get off of my lazy butt and doing some exercising. I find it amazing how many people (even within my own family) would rather mutilate their bodies rather than train themselves to eat less and exercise more.

America does not have an epidemic of obesity...we have an epidemic of laziness and poor choices. I say we do away with gastrobypass and make these people take responsibility for their actions and lack of control. They are cheating themselves if take this "easy route", as they have learned nothing. Old habits will return, as will the fat!

The real problem with that surgery is that even though you're eating less of certain foods, most patients still go back to eating fast food crap. So they may keep off the weight, but what kind of nutrients are they feeding themselves? It's absolutely a matter of lifestyle, and about curbing certain addictions to foods that make us feel better. We all have weaknesses that we're more prone to. There really needs to be better psychological support for problems like this, and people need to not get so offended at being wrong about something. We all make mistakes, stop blaming society for your addictions!

Ok, so what's your IDEA? Exercise program? Diet plan? We know your opinion, but what do you propose to do about it?
