Meant to say thanks as well to Sarsar for the kind words. I'm glad I'm not alone.

And congrats Georgia for soldiering on, our 5:2 banner carrier!

And M2G, so good to see you again!

I feel OD must have a names cheat sheet printed out. I'm so useless at names that I just revert back to screen names all the time. It's me, not you!!

Today was supposed to be a fast day but I'm already at 1000 cals AND I have a date tonight! :( Danced tango last night for 3 hours, it was AWESOME but I am drained.

No,it's Kim that knows everyone's real names . I do well for awhile and revert back to screen names and forget again. I swore I was going to write it down last time Kim was nice enough to make the list again. At least I should have memorized the page number.

I don't think Bill and Jim can find out. Bill has no friends and hardly ever goes to town. He really doesn't know anyone in my town, as crazy as that sounds. He's really mad at me right now, and I really don't care. I was done with him trying to control everything a long time ago. He was trying to do it again, and I said "see you next week"

Jim knows about Bill. He doesn't care if I date Bill . He said as long as I am willing to date him too, he will give me whatever space I need, in hopes that I will give up completely on Bill. There are things I like about both of them, and things about both of them I dislike. This way, I can have the best parts of both of them. I don't know what else to do. I need to find a counselor. I can go again now that I have better insurance. i want Sheryl's counselor!

LOL...Brits have better food than they are reputed to, generally. But a chip butty might be an exception to that LOL. It is a sandwich where the filling is French fries, usually sandwiched between slices of buttered white bread (not toast), people sometimes add brown sauce or ketchup on them. It's only tasty if you were raised there I believe. ;-)

hahahahaaaaaaa - the chip butty is such as delicacy! Pure indulgence - it is my kind of naughty food! And I totally crumbled to it last night - and Yes brown sauce and real welsh butter too....hahahhahaaaa! The problem I have is that I don't feel one ounce of guilt either... not sure if that is good or bad - perhaps I have overcome the demons of guilt related to food. I ate it cos I wanted it, not cos I was stressed or upset etc!

Same will go for tonight - I will enjoy every drink and dance like no one is watching. I think as I move forward in my forties, I am realising that we have to LIVE!

Have a great weekend everyone xx

Well I had 2 "loose" fast days this past week, I say "loose" because I didn't actually count calories, it was a guesstimate. Maybe I will up the ante this week and actually COUNT calories on my fast days!

Chip Butty...sounds interesting. Much more interesting than vegemite (not sure I spelled that correctly) but that stuff sounds positively yucky to me. LOL!!!

Went to the movies with the family (Maze Runner, oldest dd has read ALL the books...new one to come out in 2016) and really enjoyed the movie. Bummed that I have to wait a year for the next movie. May have to crumble and read the books. lol. Anyway, ate popcorn, AND licorice. Sheesh. Back in my days of being strict I would have smuggled in a Protein Bar and a bottle of Water. ha ha ha that feels like eons ago!

      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.
