Auto Eating



Recommended Posts

Wow - I've only been banded since Tues 16th, but I had a close call today. My 4 yr old grandson was visiting with me and he wanted a snack. I gave him some crackers and Peanut Butter and raisins. I ALMOST popped a raisin in my mouth without even thinking !!!

I'm going to have to be very careful until I get used to thinking more about anything I put in my mouth!

YIKES! :omg:

Topdownbug,

Does you name mean that you also are a VW Beattle owner. That is so funny as we may have a lot in common and I am one day behind you. I know what you mean. I was fixing a salad for my DH and came so close. It scared me when I started to pop a walnut into my mouth. That is why I also needed a band for my head.

I wish you well.

Judy - I sure do have a VW Beetle - she's a New Beetle Convertible - so her license plate says 'TOP DOWN'. We are close in Band dates, we're also close in age. .. and ...

my name is also

Judy :clap2:

No chance you live in Ohio is there ? ;)

OOOOO I have a beetle too. A white one named Marsha! I love her. (Shhh...I am getting a convertible one soon. However, I don't know if I will be able to part with Marsha, so I might have to keep her too. My 10 year old wants to drive her when she becomes 16.) I love my BUG!

Nice Cookie! My Topdownbug is my third New Beetle. I am quite attached to them, but when the convertibles came out I had to have one immediately - so I did. Then when the new colors came out - I had to have a different one - so I do. This little beauty is only a year old and she only gets driven in the nice weather so she only has 6000 miles on her so far. I try not to look at the new colors when they come out. I need to get more equity in this one before I make another change.

They are so much fun !! I feel like I'm 17 when I'm in my BUG !

Enjoy yours too!

Judy

Oh Judy, although I live near Greensboro, NC and I am orginally from Alabama, I can not believe how much we have in common. For example, I am now on my 3rd New Beetle and totally understand about the color issue. I am currently driving a 2006 harvest moon hardtop that I just love. But the new is wearing on it :) so I might join you and Cookie and go to a convertiable next. WE are buggie sisters.

Hey, I too have a convertable VW Beetle. 2006 Standard shift, "mellow yellow". I just love it. It's fun, and I have to tell you..........I LOOK GOOD IN IT! It goes well with my long red hair!

Well, I don't have a bug but can relate to the Auto Eating. Thing about it is you will know when you do something wrong. After 8 months I get a stomache just from looking at a sub sandwich with all the bread!! Just like anything else - there is always a learning curve!!

I'm trying like crazy to attach some photos to this post, but everytime I do they are way too big! What's the trick?

Anyway - Judy - you and I seem to have a lot in common! Babs and Cookie and Judy - maybe we should start a BugLovers Thread?

I'll keep trying to attach photos of my Bugs - they are Harvest Moon w/black top. Shadow Blue w/tan top and Reflex Silver (hardtop w/sunroof of course)

:)

Ladies, I LOVE your bugs!!!! Pictures of Marsha will be coming soon. She is getting a "makeover". She was in a fender bender a few weeks ago. I am getting a red convertible. It makes me smile just thinking about it. Imagine my skinny bum driving around in a red convertible...BEEP BEEP!

      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.
