Oh yeah, I forget it gets cold in other places. I don't think I cracked a coat this year...in fact I barely wore sleeves at all even in the winter.

I really liked you a lot until just now when I read your post!!! We had SO much snow here!

Since it is warm at your house, we will all see you there next February. And we can wear our new bathing suits!

Oh not quite...But about mid-April we do go swimming.

Every year here we have a big festival here called "mudbug madness" where basically people sell really cajun food, handmade soaps etc. We have bands, and beer, and what not.

This year I had about a 1/4 lb of crawfish, which is actually nothing. Well the point is it was 93 degrees yesterday. I put on spf 80 before going outside, but it was fun.

I am a little far away... but i would come to you, not to escape the cold but to escape the heat. Today we are having a cool day and it is only 100 degrees...what makes it cool is that the humidity level is only at 30%... so count me in... I will join a party in a cooler climate!

Then again if you girls want hot... I am sure Amoud (another Victorous Valentine and my best friend here in Qatar) and I will welcome u all.

:)

Bet all that walking was good for ya. It sounds like a blast. I love cajun food and music. <Zydeco girl here< And you're so right, 1/4 pound of crawfish is nothing - it's under 100 calories and about 15g of Protein. I'd be eating all those I could before I got too full.

Our weather here in Arizona has been freaky lately - last Tuesday we were at 107 and by Thursday it had dropped to mid 70s for the highs. It stayed nice all weekend but I think it's starting to creep back up again. It's supposed to be 92 tomorrow and 99 by Wednesday. Ick, heat! Sometimes I don't know why I still live here. But family, friends, jobs, no real motivation to move except the heat.

Ditto to all the sentiments above. It is the first place I come to read during my lunch hour!

Feb in Australia is simply wonderful. We could all congregate at my place!:)

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
