Neenagh, i am so sorry you are having so much trouble. DO NOT BEAT YOUSELF UP over eating the Mc Flurry, and the chocolate's, it was one mistake, now just move on from it.

YOU CAN DO THIS NEENAGH, you will soon be joining Mandi in onderland.

Just pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again.

LOL, green, from someone who's not biased, they're just like a Blizzard... but from McDonalds ;)

I'd take a blizzard anyday! At least at DQ I get some choice in what goes into my icecream concoction, not just oreo or smarties! You guys are nuts!

I think that it's a problem with living in downtown Toronto and having grown up with European parents. I never ate a Big Mac until I was 35. Now I love them!

wow... craziness. I guess when you live somewhere and have SO MANY other options, you don't always get around to the old stand-by's that some of us live(d) on! You probably had so many other tastier options. ;)

You can't still eat Big Mac's, can you?

(and, you don't wanna know what a Blizzard is, forget I ever mentioned it! Stay away from the Blizzards!)

It was my husband that introduced me to Big Macs and now I love 'em! I have Mac attacks. They are sorta gross but deeply addictive. Part of the reason that it took me so long to experience MacDonalds was that it took them a long time to infiltrate the core of Toronto and because I don't drive I was never in the right places until I met my signif other. Now I have two MacDonalds within walking distance of my house. Yep, it takes me five minutes to walk to a Big Mac, eh! lol Times have really changed.

I only had my first Taco Bell experience about five years ago when one opened up within walking distance. Now a friend and I sometimes go there for Sunday brunch! I love the fries supreme.

When I was in my twenties fast food meant Harvey's for hamburgers and Mr. Sub. The other option was pizza. All the good fast food franchises were in the suburbs or in the States. LOL

Oh, and growing with European parents meant that we almost always ate home cooked food while we were growing up. We hardly ever went out to restaurants and we didn't order in. This was the way my dad liked it. My mother didn't. And we didn't either. I think that this is why I like eating in restaurants so much.

I've only had Taco Bell once. I prefer Taco Time! And Harvey's, I just discovered a few years ago (in a Home Depot?!), but yummmm... they make good burgers!

I tried a McDonald's cheseburger a month after the band, that was a mistake. I think it was the white bread bun. That experience was enough for me. No more burgers for Wheezy!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
