Have you thought about getting a part time job at a bakery? Whip IP some samples and take them to your local bakeries. Might as well get paid to do what you love

I do this, too. I bake a few times a week and I love it. I give it away or send it to work with my husband. It's so much more enjoyable now than it was before. I let myself have a few bites of whatever I bake.

What if you learn to do really complicated time-consuming cooking, like fancy cake decorating or French cuisine. I'm sure a lot of the appeal is the actual process and if you make it complicated you might get more bang for your buck. We knitters do this by using really thin yarn and tiny needles, to make them go further.

Or you could volunteer to cook at a shelter or make a business out of it and do catering or something like that. You won't have to have it in your house then.

Did you think of taking some chef courses? Then, once again, it's out of your house. Lots of the classes are for healthy food too.

Maybe look for some better recipes like home made granola bars and whole grain breads and muffins of course you will need to watch they are not high sugar...I would not go low carb for growing children I actually wouldn't period but that is me I would just try better quality carbs.

Or you could try scrap booking or something equally addictive and time consuming....

I have decided to make my family's food healthier as well as my own I have never allowed my children to be overly picky about fruit and vegetables and my hubs is military and likes to stay fit so it is going ok.

      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. 🤞
