Bad Good Better Best - survey time



Recommended Posts

There is a whole range of choices when changing your lifestyle varying from bad to good, better and best. Most days I'm at my best, occasionally I'm bad struggling for just one good choice. Here are some of my Good Better Bests, what are yours??

Bad - Having a whole candy bar

Good - Having a single Hershey's miniature

Better - Having a chocolate Protein Bar

Best - Having NO chocolate

_______________

Bad - spending the evening on the couch

Good - cleaning or other projects around the house

Better - brisk 45 minute walk around the neighborhood

Best - break a sweat with a real cardio workout

Ok, great thread! I'll play! :D Lateral choices are what shore me up all the dang. time!

I'm at the point where truly my life is about 90-95% Best and 3-8% Better and about 2% Good. I haven't gone "hog wild" eat the whole candy bar thing since before surgery. Hallelujah. The angels sang.

Bad - A whole order or BWW Wings with Fried cheese Curds and Fried Mushrooms

Good - Having 2 wing flats, and 2 curds and 1 mushrrom with celery and blue cheese

Better - Air Frying the wings at home and tossing with a zero calorie sauce to keep it lower fat. Air frying broccoli and cauliflower and making Grk Yogurt Ranch Dip.

Best - Air Frying chicken breasts with a mustard garlic coating. Making a great salad with a few pumpkin seeds and reduced fat feta with some zero calorie dressing and a little avocado.

Bad - Wasting an entire day on YouTube vids and FB and BP (sorry to say wasting, not really wasting...but losing myself in it)

Good - I have yet to establish metrics for this parameter

Better - Ditto

Best - *sniff* Purgatory. Pure. And. Simple.

      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.
