The Super Bowl is starting now…how are you celebrating? Are you one of the nearly 200 million people who tune in – whether it’s for the game, for the half-time show, or for the commercials?

What kind of Super Bowl traditions do you have…or are you starting some new ones this year?

And, what kind of food is at your party? Do you go to (or host) a party where have to face “the works” – chili, wings, pizza, brownies, Cookies, chips, dip…and everything else? And how are you planning to deal with it? Can you pass up the junk food?

Of course, one of the best ways to avoid caving into the temptations and overeating junk food is to bring your own healthy foods. It could be as simple as sticking a Protein Bar or a small bag with almonds in your pocket. Or, you might have some delicious, healthy recipes for dips, veggie trays, and turkey chili.

Share your Super Bowl recipes and memories here…and don’t forget to check into this thread if you need a distraction from the tempting food near the TV!

Sort of a downplayed Super Bowl for me this year.

Brought some job paperwork home and got done this afternoon......very early start to the workweek in the morning.

Grilled some brats, wings and chicken breasts & chicken dip last night so just having leftovers tonight.

A couple wing drummettes and some dip & celery and I was done. The tribe is feasting on the stuff and some frozen appetizers that they cooked.

Ordinarily I'd be pulling for the Panthers in this game.....but I want to see Manning go out with this win and retire. Huge respect for him.

Well let's see, traditions.....my husband watches football like its a second job. Falls asleep on the couch EVERY TIME and he did. I ate cheese dip with 4 chips, spinach artichoke dip with said chips, 2 bites of pizza, pepper popper insides oh and CRACKER CANDY!!! I'm pretty excited about that last one. I will be sending the rest to school with my daughter. I can't have that nonsense in this house! I almost had a rumchatta drink but I decided against it but that's only because I wanted to eat CRACKER CANDY!!! That's that. Thrilling huh?! I'm a horrible sleeve patient today so people are just going to have to stop asking me what I eat in a day for advice. I cannot be of assistance with this bad behavior I'm displaying. It's ok, I'll be better tomorrow. :)

I love football. Love it. But I found myself having severe high blood pressure from watching it (I'm a Ravens fan) <--- no explanation needed. lol but seriously I also found myself mindlessly eating wings, chips, salsa, ordering pizza exc. I stopped watching it, or being emotionally invested in it. (Our record this year) my Sunday snacking stopped way before the super bowl. So during the game I didn't snack, I watched until half time, then watched chopped. Oddly watching the food channel doesn't make me as hungry as watching men chase each other. lol

      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.
