Things are still going very well for me, I feel good physically and emotionally. I watched the Dr. Phil show today and found myself feeling very sorry for some of the people that were talking about life in this society as an obese person. They told stories that were all too familiar about humiliation and painful circumstances of public embarrassment. Two of the ladies were in total denial about their weight. They were militant about societies attitude toward overweight people. They spoke about a study that points out that 98% of all diets fail. And that people gain back all the weight and more. They spoke about how rotten it is that big people can't go to movies, ride airplanes, buses, and cars because the seats are not big enough to accommodate their size. They have given up trying to lose weight because of what this study says. It was sad to me that they have convinced themselves that it is okay for them to go on in life and not care about the consequences that weight delves out. I want to be a beacon of light to people like that. The problem is, that these women are so angry at society and so convinced that they cannot lose the weight. That nobody can penetrate their psyche. They were even militant towards someone that has been loosing weight and tried to convince them that it could be done. They told her that just because she was able to do it, she thinks everyone can. They made fun of her and that disgusted me.

One of these women said that she couldn't get doctors to treat her because they said that she is too big. I believe her too, because there are many doctors that will not treat the morbidly obese even though they specialize in that field. They must either be afraid of failure, or from being associated with failure.

I had a doctor tell me that I needed to get gastric bypass surgery and that if I didn't I would die. He went on to say that 97% of people that try to lose weight drop about 6% of the fat before they fail. My thought for him was “how do you know that I am not one of the 3% that can succeed”? He didn't want to see me again until I lost enough weight to be a candidate for the gastric bypass surgery. My wife and I left his office feeling completely deflated and Shawna was devastated and scared to death that she was going to lose me. Well Dr. Silver of Edmonds, Washington, I have dropped well over 6% of my weight and when I get to my goal. If you still have a practice, I am going to schedule an appointment, drop my pants, and tell you to “kiss my ass.” And it won't be just for my wife and I. But for those poor ladies on the Dr Phil show and anyone else that has been turned away by a chicken poop doctor that isn't worth the paper that their diploma is written on!
