What are your other addictions/ obsessions?



Recommended Posts

I'm obsessed with budgeting our money for up to a year in advance. I'm also quite smitten with my wife. I never want to know a day without her in it. [/quote

I'm obsessed with budgeting too. I listen to the Dave Ramsey show every day, it drives my husband bonkers.

And the comment about your wife..... I so love that!

1. Traveling and exploration, my first love. If I'm not jumping on a plane at least once a month, I get.. itchy.

2. Ingress. Check it out. Really! It goes nicely along with #1

3. Meeting new people

4. Entrepreneurial type things. I love trying new things and learning the market. I am currently running a side business alongside my full time job and it's very exciting.

5. Homesteading.. fascinated by this, but I don't have the resources (aka my own home, a piece of land, etc). But I love things like brewing my own kombucha, making soap, candles, etc.

Why aren't we BFFs?! The surgery, has inspired me to change my life. I am about to go move into an RV and travel the country, and Mexico! I have this idea in my heart, that while I'm out there I will find a beautiful piece of land, to make a home on, maybe even a small farm! And you should definitely open up an Etsy store!

Angels baseball. I'm pathetic. I need to buy a treadmill so I'd at least walk while watching.

Shopping. I've always been a shopper, but now I have to replace every item since the old ones are way too big.

And makeup. Always have been into it, but it's gettin a little out of hand.

But I look cute.

I'm here in the UK and love anything that Ruth Goodman does. She is such a quiet genius and gloriously eccentric. She does great pieces for UK TV and her sense of dress is as much fun as she is. I reckon she's a bit of a treasure!

My latest obsession is nails! If the rest of me is beginning to look halfway decent then the nails have got to be got up to scratch (pun intended). No subtle colours for me either, just got neon pink gel. What do you expect from a 59&1/2 year old? Subtle beige or shell pink maybe?

My transfer addictions have been going back and forth between sex, flirting, working out, and my phone. Currently I am all about my phone and need it surgically removed from my hand. The attention and flirting are going to get me in trouble, but is sorely lacking from my husband. So I compensate by looking elsewhere. Working out is just something I do and have fun with to be healthy.

I've always had a shopping addiction and I don't see it getting better after losing weight. I love ebooks (fluff only - nothing that requires a lot of thinking or that will make me anxious).

I'm obsessed with dogs - particular my own. They are my children.

Unfortunately I'm addicted to FB and lately BP. Lol

I love gardening but we have a horrible gypsy moth catepillar infestation that prevents me from enjoying being outside and I haven't planted any flowers this year. Catepillar poop and chewed leaves rain down constantly and is everywhere in my yard, on my deck, gets in your hair! YUCK!

My latest food addiction is sugar free popsicles. I go thru stages. Last addiction was celery and sour cream dip - that lasted a few months.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
