Ricki Lake in People online

Has anyone seen the article on People online about Ricki Lake?  The title is "Ricki Lake, I can't believe I was fat" where she makes the comment "I didn't have surgery and I work hard".  I was a little offended by that statment because it makes it seem like we took the easy way out having surgery.  I truly believe that what we go through every day is hard work to take off weight and maintain this lifestyle. 
Am I being too sensitive?

I didn't see the article but I know that those who haven't travelled our journey have no idea. This is definitely not the "easy" way out. It is a total and complete lifestyle change. Having WLS is a personal decision that is not for everyone. I am glad that I made the decision, but to be fair it's not for all. Those who choose this road are courageous and have such inner stregnth I believe. So although Ricki didn't choose this path, and granted her path too was hard, but I wouldn't change my decision for anything. More power to her....

Heather,

I don't think anything, but I know this, losing 140 lbs any way you do is a BIG accomplishment....Maybe People Magazine asked her how she did it?  There is no easy way out.  Surgery, we give up a lot.  Losing by dieting and exercise  is dedication.  It all boils down to the fact - CAN WE MAINTAIN?
