Smile Let's all become Greyhounds!!!

If you ever feel discouraged about your need for surgery and not being able to "do it on your own" or when people think/thought you are weak and just need to "try to get on track yourself" or "get motivated" instead of having surgery.... this is for you.

I found this on a website and i thought it was a clever analogy (if that's the right word) for the fact that I have always known I'm not lazy, I do not lack motivation, and I do actually have self control. I have always known that I am different than people that are thin. My genetic makeup is different--I have always enjoyed watching thin people ingest food and wondering where in the world it goes!!! I know mine goes right to my gut,butt,and thighs!! LOL!!
Here goes:

"The Saint Bernard and the Greyhound, variants of the canine species, demonstrate striking differences in appearance. No one would assert that a Saint Bernard could be made to look like a Greyhound, by placing it on a strenuous diet!"

Let's raise our glasses and cheers to becoming Greyhounds!! LOL!!!

Talking

Very-very clever!

We just need to learn to ignore people who pass judgments about something they have no idea about. It is not about them, really ....

Still dogs example is great, I'll definetly use this one

Cheers,
