Some are in disbelief.I also tell them that diet and exercise has a 95% fail rate,according to the NIH,for those 100 lbs. overweight and that surgery is the only recommended treatment. I say I have a medical problem,I treat it medically. Your doc didn't send you to a massuese when your knee went out on you did he? If they say I have an " eating disorder " ,then I reply " Well,gee,why don't I still have it? " I could care less what others think(unless they're morbidly obese). The best advertisement is in living well,and I'm a great advertisement. Osler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
