Al's video was much more acceptable to both sides because he remained neutral.

Thank you Yvette. I tried to express an opinion and remain neutral. It truly is all in the way you word things.

P.S. (Good to see you back)

Not sure who said diet and exercise wasn't going to work. IT DOES WORK for some! It's what WE are doing NOW with the help of this intervention. FOR SOME the imbalance of hormones, metabolism, ghrelin, lifelong co-morbidities, & year of unsuccessful lifestyle changes warrants intervention. Truly, I hope u ARE successful. Just be open 2 the possibility that IF, 10 years from now, you are still struggling there are other options out there and you probably wouldn't want to be judged for them.

You may lose it on your own, but trust me you will gain it back plus twenty pounds.

yes, i understand that. i was saying that i expected what shanti said and because i am familiar with her videos and know that she is the type that does research before she speaks, i didnt have a problem with hers (although i disagree). this video, however, was just slightly ridiculously misinformed and came off like the blatherings of someone who needs to take a moment and read a book. i have a problem with "opinions" based on nothing. she's free to have it, and im free to think its crap.

Shanti?

This is blueeyedbetty's video and I was commenting and referring to her and thestarvingtenor.

[shatani]

i think he did more than just remain neutral...he acknowledged that he doesnt have all the answers and he refrained from condemning anyone who wasnt doing things his way.

i expected what shanti said because she is very opinionated and never afraid to express her thoughts. while i dont always agree with her, i respect the fact that she does research on things before she starts talking. i can respect a well-informed opinion, not spouting off without having read a damn thing. my bias, i guess.

[shatani]

agreed. as someone who has known the despair of friends who have turned to the surgery (1) its FAR from easy and (2) this is the reason there is a rift between weight losers who do it "the hard way" and those who have surgery. there seems to be this misconception that you have surgery and you lose weight and thats it. couldnt be farther from the truth! it would behoove everyone in every case to do some research before forming opinions and speaking about something you have no clue about.

i wouldn't ever have wls, but it's far from easy. people who get wls are committing to a lifestyle for the rest of their lives...the weight loss is probably the only easy part about it, because the maintenance of it all is a lot of hard work. and i think they have to think A LOT about what's going into their bodies.that being said, i agree with your view on diets being crap. i think the best way is to just eat what you want, but control the portions and just exercise.

You had me there until you said the only hard way is doing losing it on your own. Speaking whose actually had surgery ( lap-band ) It is in no-way the easy way I struggle just like anyone else. I can't eat certain foods anymore, but I've gotten used to that. I just love how people comment on something they no nothing about. Oh, and no I don't have the same feelings I struggled with. Those are all gone. I'm feeling great. Until, you've been there, you have no room to judge.
