An interesting article about “Fat Memory” https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-03614-9 Key points: •Fat cells have a ‘memory’ of obesity hinting at why it’s hard to keep weight off. •Long-lasting changes to the cells’ epigenome are linked to a decline in their function. •For fat cells, the shift in gene activity seems to render them incapable of their normal function. •Even weight-loss surgery did not budge that pattern. •The research is ongoing as “It’s not yet a causal link, It’s correlation. … We’re working on this.”

You have NOT failed. Please stop catastrophizing. You are only 7 weeks post op. Super duper early. There are literally more options now than ever before to aid you on this journey. Tell your team you are struggling and need help. It’s very likely you need more than just the sleeve and white knuckled willpower but what that looks like is ultimately up to you. You’ve come this far already, so you know you’re committed enough to make lifestyle changes. Please keep going. ❤️

I am also team Mary Berry 🤣 but ultimately I gave up on TGBBO because I found everyone very very whiny. Now if you watch American cooking shows, I find Ree Drummond (The pioneer woman) annoying.

Here is some info: https://www.uclahealth.org/news/article/semaglutide-weight-loss-what-you-need-know#:~:text=After 68 weeks%2C half of,nearly a third lost 20%. https://www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJMoa2032183 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-024-02996-7 You should know rather quickly (a month or so) if it’s working for you. Speak with your specialist about all of your concerns.

All good questions for the specialist (Endocrinologist?) But this is a long term med and you should plan accordingly!

Speedy Recovery ❤️‍🩹 !

Eggs in a basket! I made these for my BF but I may eat the same thing later. What do you call this dish (eggs cooked in a hole in bread)?

20 rotisserie chickens 🤣

Glad you are doing well!

Hi Hunnybunny @Starwarsandcupcakes how are you doing?

Well that’s unfortunate.😔

Honestly I’m more worried about the female gaze. What are you planning now that you believe I am the competition? Anyone noticed a shift in the females they interact with now vs then? Bonus: link to a (long form) video that analyzes body fat and perceived attractiveness

Thank you!

Now I want to try to make this. Any recipe suggestions?
