Confessions of a Snacker...



Recommended Posts

I have an addiction that I need help with. Lately I have been cheating with chips and salsa. There are times I would rather eat chips and salsa than a meal. :D I have to be more strong.

So what do you need, Carrie? A boot to the butt or a big ol' hug?? Either are available as needed, here.

:]

Can you replace with some other cruncy thing like celery or other veggies and a mix of FF cream cheese and salsa? It isn't the salsa that is killing you, you know...

Just a thought.

Oh, I love chips & salsa!! We went to dinner the other night & I ate so much chips & salsa that I was completely stuffed before my real food ever came. I just make sure I don't keep the stuff around the house or I'd have a VERY BIG problem!! It goes down toooo easily!!!

My suggestion: Get rid of the chips - FAST!! That will fix your problem. :D

Run....Run far far away.

throw it out, don't buy more....grin and bear it for 2 weeks...and you'll be ok.

Join our "Chip Club" (check archives for "Who wants some chips"). You get a fancy little icon for your signature line. I just earned one for 30 days with no caffeine. Next...I'm getting away from sugar treats. You can do it, too!

Remember...this thing will only work if you work it. I learned that this week...so back on track for me this coming week!

God Bless You. Hang in there.

I would suggest having the baked chips with the salsa. Portion Control it out. For the baked (tostitoes) its 22 chips = 1 portion. As far as the salsa, you can't go wrong, enjoy as much as you can. Add some broiled ckn or something to that effect and you have dinner :D

Some times I don't want dinner either and I'll snack on this. If you must have sour cream do the fat free and measure measure measure.

We can eat our favorite foods we just have to be more aware of the alternatives.

I feel the same way sometimes. I don't really enjoy a real meal anymore because I have to eat so slow and it often doesn't feel that good. But chips go down so well!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
