Mine is collecting dust 😂😂😂 lol The only things i actually weigh are nuts and now i can measure those by sight too

I cycle in and out of eating certain types of fun foods but they are usually always during a social outings these days like vacations, parties, events, etc. And even then its shared or just a small amount, nothing like before. Actually, I was just offered a bite of a snickers icecream bar (on a very warm day) and I declined. But most definitely its not a habit, routine or regular occurrence anymore because its not realistic for me to maintain this weight and always celebrate with sweet food. Sometimes I need to just pass and eat salad or hummus

💜CONGRATULATIONS💜

I have finally come to the realization that I may be relying on protein shakes out of pure laziness. I can clearly get all of my protein from food at this point and I can use then as creamer in coffee but I end up tossing a lot of it out. I may give them up fairly soon or use very rarely. At what point were you able to give them up and rely solely on food sources for protein ? VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169

I didn't realize when I lost weight that ________ I would be hungry. Like really hungry... because I am And like a normal weight person, I don't have to feel ashamed about it. (I think we are often conditioned to feel shame about eating as if you shouldn't need to. If we are overweight, obviously we've had enough for a lifetime and real hunger isn't a real thing for us, we only emotionally eat, but no one else is treated this way. Other people eat when emotional and hungry as well. It *feels* like a prejudice only we as a population face.)

I set a random goal for myself and met it in Jan 2019 (so 14 months post op but I bounce up and down a lot... Maintenance is crazy different than losing), I however met my Surgeons goal for me by 1 yr post op. They were satisfied so I was satified. I felt surprised actually that mission was accomplished.

You'll do great!

Advice varies so much between practices. This may work for him. Only time may tell. But at least his advice came from his surgeons and he can go right back to them for help. Some people are outliers, they will lose and keep it off forever no matter what they eat (I've seen it) others are on the opposite end of the spectrum and will struggle for dear life no matter how closely they work with their Team. I was told not to over indulge in rice, bread and pasta as they were not beneficial in nutrition comparative to other foods i could be eating like vegetables. But i was also allowed to eat what i wanted on vacation (within reason) because they didn't want me deprived in any way.

☀Happy Sunday Morning ☀ Its raining and cloudy in my part of the world but you know the new adage May showers bring June flowers 😂 B-Side Question: Is there a point in the day/week/month when you are truly hungrier? (For me its the week before my cycle)

🔼AGREED🔼 Sorry you are having a rough time. You have to get to your Team ASAP. It's critical now especially if its causing breakdowns. Get Well Soon 💜

Good Morning Team 💝 B-Side Question: Do you prefer home or Salon Mani/Pedi? This is important stuff 😀

Mega ultra catch up 😀: May 7-17: I worked up a sweat on the 7th stressing out over small things, does that count ? 😩 I tailored a few items in the 8th so I'll count that as crafting On the 9th and 10th prayer (which involves much movement) will go towards my yoga and meditation 😉 No time to try a puzzle on the 11th so i will circle back around to this one But on the 12th i was at a wedding so mudic was abundant and i was listening ✅ On the 13th oddly enough i was at a museum exhibit on animals so I'm counting it No cooking on the 14th, sick as a dog 🐕 Im listening to a new audible One Second After so i will count that for the 15th and 16th I cleared out every junk draw on the 17th, major victory 🏆 And 18: Making physical contact by holding hands while taking a walk today 😍

Woke up ready to make a drink that required Torani Sugar Free Syrup , don't know why but I remembered it having sucralose. wrong. Acesulfame potassium. tossed it. Chose Starbucks Sugar Free Syrup instead which does have sucralose, but then started to wonder about all artificial sweeteners, again. Sigh. Slippery slope. Tossing them all. Just a small amount of info below (a video that references research and journals, and a journal reviewing research) for anyone who would like it and if you conduct any research, please add it for others to see. And by all means add info to the contrary if you find that also. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3772345/?source=purehealth

Most of the fun of a Journey is the view along the way not just the destination, enjoy it all.

It is my absolute pleasure to host these challenges, next month I may not be able to give it my full attention so i want to make sure if there is a need for one its available 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
