Food Commericals...



Recommended Posts

They just tick me off right now. ANytime I've had food restriction they've ticked me off, now they just make me mad. All those pizza hut and domino's commericals. Has anyone else experienced this.

They eat on TV Shows, then food commericals, the mail man leaves tons of food ad's instead of mail in my mailbox. I know now I will run from the border, not run for the border.

Well, that's my vent. Plus my daughter asked me, why can't you have dinner mommy, mine is so very good.

Atleast I can drive again soon. :hungry:

I guess Im at a point where Im not even paying attention to those things(food advertising). You'll get that way too - I promise!

What about changing the tv on commercials? just a thought.

Ofcourse I turn the channel. Now, I'm not that much of a complainer.

I got a late start on my Protein shakes and now I gotta get the rest in before bedtime. I have one more week of shakes. Guess what! I haven't been walking as much as I should and I was reminded that I must start doing these things. I'll be at the gym tomorrow.

I have lost 12 pounds (just shocked, not bragging), My daughter threw up all the way to their door. She get's car sick and today was the day.

She kept wanting to hug me after she threw up. Yuck. No more staples either.

I'm having so much trouble with food still. I really need to tackle it.

My daughter is currently helping one of our local state senators write up a proposal for Congress to pass a law which would ban direct to consumer drug ads. We've all seen them.. the ones that make you feel certain that whatever that mysterious drug is, it will make your life so much better - until you listen to the potential side affects which for some reason seem acceptable by the tone of the guys voice that's reading the deadly list to stupid consumers. They -must- think we are stupid to go buy that crap after hearing those side affects!

So.. I was thinking that we should write up something similar for direct to consumer food ads! They are killing Americans! Is there any wonder we are a nation of obese people?? Set an addict in a room and show him or her commercials that show people being fulfilled by using their drug of choice. Would any of them be able to quit? They took off smoking ads - why not food ads!? Jerks... how dare they shove that crap at me every 10 seconds. I don't even turn on the tv now unless it's to watch a DVD.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
