On the treadmill yesterday:

I just use a pair of scissors and rotate the point until it carves a new hole.

Its fun and exciting.

The other day I got mad because something interfered with my workout time. LOL.

I never used to work out, other then swimming.

I have been saying that for the last 2 weeks.

I have been trying to figure out the last time I was at my current weight. It's been over 10 years.

That's what I did, well not with scissors but went out to the work bench with a pocketknife and made a new hole. I'd like to skip over the next size and wear the prefectly good one hanging in the closet.

But for the last 8 years I've had to buy bigger and bigger belts.

honestly believe my car mileage is better because I weight 60 pounds lighter. like 2,3 MPG better.

I keep fairly good track of my fuel mileage. I am amazed at what I have recently getting.

Your gas mileage is probably slightly better!!!

Every 8lbs you lose is like adding an extra 1hp to the car.

So if you drive the same it is taking about 8hp less to propel you!!!! Now for the bad news. You BMR works the same way....as you lose weight, you burn less calories to do the same basic things.

This XL fits great.

I can get clothes at Wal Mart and Target ( which is good since I keep getting slimmer and need new cheap clothes).

I'll see if I can jog alittle longer today.

I never thought I'd pass up on a low cut dress for an occasion - becuase it showed that I have no cleavage and my chest bones stick out, lol.

I said the other day at Logan's - "...a booth is fine..."

I know I was marveling at that a couple weeks ago when we went out for lunch.< /p>

Wearing medium size clothing is totally awesome. Especially since 3X were tight.

      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.
