  1. Created salsa boats by cutting a red pepper in half and filling w fresh salsa.
  2. wow this is a mind trick not to eat. Busting out more Popsicles as my stomach growls for a cup of protein broth. This has to be one of the most challenging things. I want this so bad I am doing it.
  3. I am 10/15. You push me I push you. Go look at swimsuits in size 8
  4. I look at it as a big mind game I plan to win!
  5. I am on my first day. I am not hunger but the taste of a salad was awesome. I am in the parking lot at the supermarket on my 2nd Popsicle !!
  6. Day 1 hour 4 of liquid diet. I am not hungry bit want to eat. I may need more celery.
  7. They weren't sure since I was sick. They did give me magic mouthwash that fells better
  8. One day left to eat and have a food funeral before starting my 2 week liquid and veggie diet. What happens? I get a tongue infection and it burns my tongue badly to eat especially these Doritos !! Damn!
  9. Marriage is hard. It may be the focus is on you now. Think about living for the fam. Pray it works out but don't think too hard. Peace

  11. OMG! The idea of not eating some foods ever again has me tasting every last favorite food. I have been following a good diet for the past two months and lost 11 pounds. My appetite has shrunk, the food tastes not at good as it used to. I think I am ready to stop eating now after that cheesesteak and cheese fries with a side of M&Ms and frozen mint yogurt. Hand me healthy food please! I am looking forward to those tubs of nectar that arrived today!
  12. I am near King of Prussia Pa not far. Having surgery on oct 15th
  13. Thanks for that suggestion I will do that.
  14. My surgery is oct 15 and going on a cruise dec 17. My doc said there should be no issues.
  15. Yeah!! All paperwork done and approved by personal choice in 24 hrs!! I got my approval today with a surgery date of oct 15. Took a month off work. How long did every need off work?
  16. I was approved today too!! October 15th is the big surgery day!!!
  17. I take lexapro daily for anxiety disorder. It is a godsend. Did anyone have to stop taking it for a period of time before or after surgery ?
  18. I had a breast reduction tummy tuck and neck lift. I should be a pro by now!
  19. don't let anyone shame you for making a choice to change your own life for the better. if she's that much bigger than you, she's probably that much more miserable about it, and this is her way of reinforcing her OWN decision to do nothing... she's projecting her negative thoughts about it on you. Love this! I just told her ummm I need to and smiled. Thankfully I am a confident tough chic!
  20. The reason my husband is supportive is because he knows I struggle with it. People sometimes think this is like plastic surgery which I had my fair share of. It isn't. I haven't had my surgery yet but know things will change. They need to because I need to be physically unable to eat 3 giant banana pancakes with butter syrup and a side of bacon.
  21. Tell her to gain 100 lbs then diet and exercise to get it off. When she does that you may change your mind.
