Stupid Commercials



Recommended Posts

Why is it when you see the potato chip commercials or the ice cream commercials or the fast food commercials they always cast skinny people in those roles? Skinny people don't eat that crap! And people who do eat that crap don't stay skinny for long!

This is right up there on my list of pet peeves, along with the increasingly depressing selection in the plus size section.

Skinny people do eat that stuff, they just don't eat way too much of it or eat it all the time. I have a lot of skinnies in my family and they enjoy the occassional potato chips, or cheez-its or Micky D's when short on time - it's just not a regular habit and they don't choose everything including the kitchen sink when ordering.

Mind you they are healthy too, and fit.

Moderation will always be the key to long term success.

Well, for one that is on the preop liquid diet those commercials are a cruel joke!!!!! A supersized quater pounder with cheese meal sure does sound good to this fat boy. I'm gonna stick with the delicious broth and Protein Shakes but boy does a carton of those fries sound awesome........

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
