As time goes by....

It has been my experience that as time goes on, the post Bariatric people seem to lose interest in the whole thing.
This is both good and bad.
It's good that they don't have to think about the surgery, and they consider themselves able to handle life without worry.
It's bad, because some of them fall off the wagon and have a tough time getting back on.
My heart goes out to them, because this is by far the best tool I have found for losing the weight and keeping it off.
The whole of America is concentrated on trying to get us to eat more, and all of the things that aren't good for us. We are bombarded with drugs on TV, and Fast food franchises trying to convince us that their fish has a name, so that makes it healthy and good for us.
For convenience, we can eat our meals as pop tarts, or instant liquid drinks. We are "ensured" it will be the best thing for us.
I don't remember the last time they advertised vegetables, or fruits.
So, without support, how can we handle this onslaught?
