"There is no magic!"
Apr 18, 2011
How true is that line concerning the lapband or ANY weight loss surgery? That quote came from a reknown doctor making a guest appearance on a television show. Part of what he tells people who want to lose weight is to change their attitude about food and exercise. "Your mind has to be in the right place. If it's not in the right place your body's not going to follow and you're not going to make the right changes. There is no magic!"Our minds have to be transformed BEFORE the transformation of our bodies can take place. The initial weight loss is great, but it won't continue forever. The surgery only accounts for a small portion of our success. It's only a tool. If a carpenter never picked up his hammer and used it, it wouldn't do him any good in the tool box. If we don't utilize our surgeries in the manner they are meant to be used, success will elude us. Pushing ourselves away from the table when we are satisfied, moving more and changing our eating habits are all necessary to win this race.
So, because we know that, let's do all we can to work the surgery of our choice!
It isn't magic, but it sure does the trick!
