Sitting in a room full of McDonalds



Recommended Posts

I'm trapped in a car with everyone eating McDonalds cheeseburgers, fries, chicken nuggets! I got an ice tea. I am secretly annoyed and talking to myself about how bad they are all eating but man this sucks right now. I had a Protein Shake this morning that made me feel like barfing at the end:( why does this make me so sad!? It's food!!!! Just food. Yet everything from Thai to Mexican has crossed my mind. ???? I feel crazy. (Rant over)

Just think of how bloated and disgusting you'd feel if you ate that! Stay strong! You got this!

Yeah thanks! In keeping my head done and reading this board to distract me until they are all done eating. I should have packed something bc now it has been hours since I ate... Lessons Learned.

Keep your head up! soon when you're feeling great and they are looking "schlumpy" you will be glad you didn't eat that crap ;)

I can tell you why it makes me sad.

Because I care about people. I know what kind of damage I caused myself & how much of my life I missed due to that kind of garbage. All I can think of when I see people shoveling trash into their face is the pain it caused me & how unnecessary it all was.

When I was on my Pre op diet my boyfriend used to eat McDonald's, pizza etc. I sat him down and told him that he is making it extremely difficult, even more difficult then it already is and that I was upset about it. He didn't eat it again in front of me thank god!

Could you say something like that to the people your with?

It's true. While yes the cheeseburgers smell good, its also like I'm wearing a live vest and watching everyone else drown and they don't even notice. After all, the moment passed and the food is gone, the smell is gone, and I did not partake. I think I will Celebrate with some puréed chicken Soup and a nap. Ahhhhh. ????????

I felt like I just got some help from my "sponsor" or something. Haha thanks everyone. Until the next temptation....

Yeah I have. My bf is usually good about it but in this moment we were driving in a rush. Yesterday we went to a Restaurant while on vacation and I could only have the broth of the Soup and my stepson was teasing me saying "aren't you jealous of my chicken tenders? They are so juicy and delicious". My boyfriend, his dad, scolded him and I told him that wasn't nice and he stopped. My boyfriend was with me at every meeting with the surgeon and takes the rules seriously. He scolded me for chewing bubble gum because of the sugar. He reminds me of the doctors orders when I want to cheat. I just wish he ate better too. This man eats fast food 2x a day. I always offer to cook but he likes bad food. How can I judge if I am fat? Idk but this will be a battle. I hope he gets healthy soon :(

      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.
