You don’t need surgery to lose weight — you need to stop making excuses. The truth is, most people gain weight because they eat too much, move too little, and lie to themselves about both. There’s no magic bullet. It’s about creating a calorie deficit, staying consistent, and making better choices daily — not for a week, but for life. That means cutting the junk, controlling portions, lifting heavy things, walking more, and ditching the “I deserve this” mindset. Surgery might be a shortcut, but it doesn’t fix bad habits. You can do this without a scalpel — if you’re willing to get real and put in the work.
