I completely identify with this statement 100% and completely agree. Because its the truth. People don't like hearing the truth from anyone let alone some person on the net. Regardless the reason I had the surgery in the first place was because I couldn't deal with my shit and the only reason im so much better at it now after the fact is because I made a serious effort to deal with all of it. My entire lifestyle is different now not because of the surgery but, because I delt with the crap that made me a fatass in the first place. The surgery still saved my life though. Had I of not gone through that ER and sat there talking to myself in that hospital bed who knows if I would have ever had the determination to stick to it like I did. I'd never regret going through it. But, only someone lying to themselves would think any differently about them being 200lbs overweight. I still hear people making excuses for themselves everyday. The truth is its probably much more dark and tough to deal with. Nothing said from someone dealing with a serious addiction can be taken at face value. Alot of times they don't even know what got them fat.
99% of its emotional. It was for me.

thankyou. I always speak the truth its just most of the time people would rather not hear it. I'm learning to just not say anything. Better to not say anything than to say the truth and hurt someone's feelings, or worse yet have to lie to them.
I refuse to lie, so most days now I just simply don't reply.
