And the not so little little... the main disposal. He's only 14. He's just big.

By the time I was 14, I was my full adult height of 6' 1" According to the government and several other sources, that was actually 6' 2", but I seem to have compressed somewhat over the years. In the following years, I did lots and lots of hard labor, and really packed on the muscle. I was always inclined towards chubbiness, but the work kept fat pretty much at bay. As the years passed, and the labor eased up, I neglected to reduce my caloric intake, and it landed me where I am today.

Here is a picture from the dim recesses of time, when I was a mere slip of a lad at 15. This was so long ago, the entire world was still in black and white. :P Seriously, this is me as I just finished kicking some butt on the wrestling mat at 180 lbs in 10th grade.

These are my two. Daryl and Carol. My mutant fattie, Carol (the grey one) eats just about anything.

I like to play this game called, "What will Carol eat?"

@@Dub, my parents bred Miniature Schnauzers when I was a kid. They are the smallest watchdogs I've ever seen. We had open horse stalls behind our house and they were always hunting and killing snakes!

We had two cats years ago, Claude and Stinker. Stinker loved noodles. We would feed him a spaghetti noodle just to watch him suck it in. We would laugh so hard we'd cry. Claude's nickname was CarboCat. He loved doughnuts, and if we left a box of them out on the table, we would come back to discover that he had torn into it and eaten the top off every single stinking doughnut in the package. Maybe he was trying to help us out.

I also re-learned that lesson the other day. I had some pierogies and ate maybe a bite or two too many. So at the is point, I open the fridge to put away the sour cream and I see my bite sized pumpkin pies. I think to myself why not. Well "why not" turned out to a giant leap over that fine line. I spent the next 30-40 minutes feeling as if my pouch was going to burst. I promised myself that one more thing would not happen anymore. I will stick to my 5 oz of food (2oz Protein and 3 oz of fiber/veggies) this is my go to about of food. We all have to figure out where our fine line is and how to not cross it, I know I still think like a "fat kid" sometimes (I must eat it all, that does look like enough food, I want to have this with my food too) but I am still learn how to turn that "fat kid" into a healthy one.

Chompers eats apples and raw carrots and cat poop and chicken food. I finnally found something won't eat! Sardines, he did eat the two cheese "crackers". Not a big fan of them myself, but they are loaded with lysine and I live in terror that the Bell's palsy will return if I deviate from the diet and supplement regiment.

I would post a picture of what I looked like (hideous) but can't figure out how to post older photos.

The 14 year old says "when the world was gray"

He's 5'9" 175 pounds. Squats 345, benches 195, and cleans 225. Clearly my backbone! Hubbys pack mule for hauling out deer, and all the neighbors use him to do all the strong man work. I worry because my "little" brother is 6'5"... but skinny/scrawny. If this one gets that tall as big as he is...gonna need a second mortgage to feed him! His high Protein low carb lifestyle involves a side of beef a day now! Lol!

All the precious critters!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Love them!!!

Pierogies, eh? I haven't even thought about them since my surgery. I loved them fried up in butter with onions. I guess if I made some of my own and mixed in some Protein powder, I could just about justify them. ;-)

Do you do a lot cooking with your Protein powder? I am not sure I can, I have to use a vegan powder and it does not come in a unflavored version.

@@Zoes.Realm The closest I have come to cooking with Protein powder is mixing it up in my coffee. It was just a thought. I loved pierogies, but between the potatoes and the dough, I am not sure I could handle the guilt right now. Maybe when I get closer to my goal weight I will reconsider.

I do know that Protein powder tends to clump when it gets too hot - like when you put it in coffee, for instance.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
