One thing I do while I'm on my "good behavior" with dieting is I plan a cheat day of sorts... Usually falls over the weekend, I limit the cheat foods to just one thing... Instead of feeling like I can never have what it is, in my mind I say just wait so many days and than you can have it... You could start with short walks... This is no easy journey, baby steps one at a time are probably best "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them" Einstein

Online dating can be frustrating, you have to do lots of "weeding" so to speak.... Just have fun with it, at its worse it's given you some dating experience... At best you could meet your match... Some where in the middle you can fund some adult fun too. "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them" Einstein

@@Recycled many of these great doctor have gotten this status based on peer reviews... It is often the case "the great doctor" has an inflated ego and disappoints you the patient. In the course of seeking a surgeon for my sleeve... I went to see a surgeon who is extremely well known for having done WLS on a TV personality... The consultation didn't reflect anything I would expect from a top doctor. I also saw another surgeon who also did the WLS on another well known person, no good. Just as I was giving up hope, someone told me about a third surgeon and he's excellent, great compassion.
