How Did You Choose Your Screen Name?



Recommended Posts

I used to be really into Adkins Diet. I worked great but, of course, I gained it back whenever I stopped following it.

I use Dooter, because that is what a neighbor/friend of my mom used to call me in high school. She always added names to the end of a real name. My mom was "Barber Darber" and I was "Dani Dooter." (She was nutty!) Then she just started calling me Dooter. So, later when I got a computer and email and such..97?...I started using Dooter because it was ALWAYS available. (not so much anymore!) Then someone at church got a hold of this information a couple years ago, now they all call me Dooter. Now it's my "go to." So.......there ya have it.

I've been "Malyss" since about 1996 or so when I first logged onto LambdaMoo (a MUD/MUSH-esque type of thing) and I needed a decent screen name. "Malyss" rhymes with malice. I prefer to use Malyss for most of my online activities. I like the name. It looks pretty but has darker undertones...sort of how I somewhat imagine myself or some alter ego form of myself.

I first chose sleeveforme not realizing there was someone with sleeve4me so I decided to change it to 100%sleeved when I realized I could no longer stuff myself the way I use to.

      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.
