Crazy hey? We all have the big chains, I just think America has the biggest problem with maximum quantity for minimum outlay. To get takeaway (in my household anyway) is still a "treat" thing. As a reward or when on holidays.

Just reading what I wrote. Maybe that's why we get so much emotional gratification when we eat it, because it was given to us when we were good and deserved something special.

My saving grace is that my kids are snobs and when we go out to eat its always sushi... And we live in an area that there really isn't any fast food terribly close (thank god) because if it were closer I think the temptation would be overwhelming!

Oh but we do have an ice cream parlor within walking distance ... And Tuesdays are 1 dollar scoop night :(

My daughter loves sushi too. She won't eat steamed salmon that I cook, but she'll eat it raw with avocado and wrapped in rice and seaweed. Kids today are weird.

I already saw that the Australian government put them on eBay! :) Jk. You will be happy to know that I finally got my baby girl sugar glider. So I won't need you to run down to the rain forest after all! ;)

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
