    You know how people filing bankruptcy go out and start maxing out their credit cards? (Losers) Same basic concept. I would say that with few exceptions (because there are medical necessities sometimes), people don't want to put the work in. This site shows hundreds of people who have lost 200- 300 pounds so it proves WORKING it, it CAN be done.

    Hey. I don't think that's a good analogy. Financial problems are not always in a persons control. People lose their jobs and can go into a spiral to avoid becoming homeless. I wouldn't call someone who had money problems a "loser" unless you know the circumstances. Where as you have pretty much have 100% control of what goes in your mouth. Probably one of the only things in life you do have control.

    Man you got a lot of gumption calling someone (or a company) a loser because they file bankruptcy. I guess you forgot about the subprime mortgage crisis and the recession.

    People who have WLS are to be admired for being brave enough to realize " hey, I'm worth it". WLS is not the easy way out:

    The surgery is a tool.

    This...
    I think whatever "tool" you need to make it work for you is the avenue you should go.
    If the same method worked for everyone, we would all be healthy!
