But I do have a great analogy for you in regards to weight loss surgery.
So here goes: weight loss surgery is like baking a cake with a cake mix, not from scratch.
Whether you make a cake from scratch or with a box mix, you still have to do the following:
- Turn on the oven
- Grease/flour the cake pans
- Take out the mixing bowl
- Measure the ingredients
- Crack open the eggs
- Mix up the ingredients
- Put the cake in the oven
- Wait for the cake to bake
- Wait for the cake to cool
- Wash all the dishes/bowl/pans
Does the mix make it easier? Yes, perhaps, but there's still a lot of steps to make that cake.
Whether one is loosing weight in the traditional method or with a weight loss surgery, we all still have to:
- Keep track of food intake
- Make good food choices
- Make exercise a priority each day.
So the next time someone says that "you took the easy way out with your weight loss surgery", tell them to EAT CAKE!
Great analogy!
ReplyDeleteI love this!!
ReplyDeleteLOL I like this post, even if it did make me crave cake a little :P
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I always thought that "the easy way out" argument was so strange. Too drastic, too scary, not effective...before I started reasearching, weight loss surgery, I understood those arguments. After researching, I really changed my tune on those arguments as welll! But "easy way out"? I know people argue that all the time, but really if there were a true "easy way out" 90% of the United States would be taking it. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree, great post - thanks for the motivation :)
