A Cheeseburger is Paradise
May 26, 2011
A cheeseburger. Nothing beats a juicy barbecued cheeseburger on a summer afternoon. Of course, there’s only one way to make a cheeseburger, right? American cheese, ketchup, tomatoes, and maybe a slice or two of bacon. There’s no other way to prepare a cheeseburger is there?
What do you mean some people like Munster cheese on their burger? Sliced onions…no way!!! Mustard…you put mustard on your cheeseburger? Are you kidding me?
Yes, there can be many different ways to make a cheeseburger. Is one way better than another? No, but I would never eat a burger with onions. But that’s just me…and that’s the point…it’s all about choices.
We have choices in everything we do in life. Buying a new car? Some people like Fords while others like Toyota’s. Some people like a house on the beach while others love living in the city.
In the bariatric community we also have choices. We choose our surgeon, our procedure, and our hospital. Need a protein drink…there are choices. Have to take a vitamin…there are choices. There are choices in the foods we eat, and the exercises we do. Is one choice better than another? In a word, no. If something works for you, then it’s the right choice for you. Sometimes we make the wrong choice or our choice isn’t right for us anymore. So we change, make a better choice and move on.
We need to remember one thing. A person’s decision to pick one procedure, surgeon or hospital over another doesn’t mean their choice is right or wrong. It’s just their CHOICE. One vitamin or protein drink over another isn’t right or wrong…it’s a choice. Everyone’s choices need to be respected and honored. Onions on my cheeseburger isn’t right for me, but it may be perfect for you. One protein drink may be right for me, but won’t work for you. That’s why I love choices. It’s choices that allow us to be individuals. Choices make the world go round.
So have a seat at the table and enjoy…at Frank’s Place we’re serving the cheeseburgers anyway you like! The choice is yours.
