Thanks Pete!

I lived in Stafford for 10 years, but moved (back) to Spotsylvania a few years ago. (Pentagon Pete makes more sense now.) They're calling for ice storms tonight. When I was a kid, we got nice fluffy snow. Now that's a rarity and ice is the norm.

BTW - Congratulations on your spectacular weight loss thus far. My doctor is making wait 6 weeks before I exercise. :wink_smile:

Before I moved down to Florida just over 2 years ago I was in Stafford just off of Winding Creek road for about 3 and a half years and then up in Alexandria for 10 months. I was working at the Pentagon thus my yahoo name of PentagonPete. And before all that I was back in Oregon with a short time in Colorado and Idaho. I tell everyone that I am the gypsy of the family. LOL The longest I have lived in anyone place since I left home after high school was when I lived in Stafford.

So yeah the snow and ice just sounds like so much fun. Not! We're enjoying our 70 and 80 degree weather with blue sky and at this time of the year lower humidity! Best time of the year to be in Florida. (especially this year with all the winter storms)

I'm a lifetime VA resident. *sigh* I'd love to move somewhere warmer, but my job (Quantico) keeps me here.

Gotta stretch your wings our Veronica and see what else is out there :wink_smile: - But then again Spotsy is a decent place to live and in this day in age a good job is something to hold onto.

That's very cool! I have a good friend of mine that my wife and I come visit a few times a year that lives in Richmond. It's amazing how many people I meet from Virginia. LOL

That's due to good ol' southern cooking! A lot of us have a "few" pounds to lose.

Mary Washington is down the street from me. Obama campaigned there in the fall. What an amazing crowd that was!

      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.
