Monday Funday Question Of The Day!



Recommended Posts

What's your go to place for relaxation? Mental or Physical, don't matter.

Mine is the nail salon - sans baby. Twice a month I abandon my motherly duties (usually on the weekends my son is with his father) and spend a couple of hours at the salon gossiping with my nail tech friend, getting my nails done, eyebrows waxed, and occasionally a pedicure if my finances allow.

I bake Cookies and cupcakes and cakes, for friends and family! I know it is weird for someone who had WLS, but if I bake it, I don't feel like eating it!

I cook and bake more now then I ever did. I have really gotten into the whole homemade thing. I make breads, cakes, preserves, Soups and sauces all from scratch. I also juice. I have been having a marvelous time and never have more than just a taste of anything (just to make sure it is right before I give it away.)

I meditate and watch nature. In the mountains this weekend, I put some shelled peanuts outside our cabin door and watched the blue jays and wood peckers come and take the peanuts. It was so interesting watching them get picky about which peanut they wanted. There were at least a dozen of them. LOL! Nature is so beautiful! ;)

My backyard. My husband and I have worked hard to make it a little oasis. We don't have a pool or anything fancy, we just worked on the landscaping ourselves and have two Water features, fruit trees, rock and drought tolerant gardens, dry stream beds, herbs and other edibles, a large chicken coop, etc.

My other place is on the back of a good horse.

      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
