Cheeseburgers?

[Luckystar12 51]

I live in NYC and hardly visited McDs bc there are hundreds if better burger places out here. There is a Bareburger by me, which is organic lean burgers with real cheese and you can pick a wheat bun or lettuce wrap. Obviously i would choose this place over Mcds, i do not even enjoy them. Burger does not always mean fast food. I am a foodie so quality over quantity for me. I do not plan on even attempting a burger until like 4 months out, i can hardly tolerate pureed chicken. I do believe the sleeve is the tool to teach moderation and to not deprive yourself of "no no foods", we just need to be smart.

Dianne38 I respect you for being honest. Not everyone is perfect like these people with so much self control! I understand what you mean by they take it so seriously, you didn't mean that your health is not important. Enjoy your life and be happy!

I too was dying for a burger so I tried Weight Watchers Smart Ones - 2 cheeseburgers in a pckg. Removed bottom bun off one. Ate with a knife and fork to make sure my bites were tiny and almost finished it. I know processed food is bad, but as a once in a while treat for lunch, it did the trick, got my burger craving satisfied too.

I admire honesty as well, although I wouldn't necessarily tell people they're taking WLS wayyy too seriously. The same as I wouldn't tell people I think they're not taking it seriously enough

I don't know dean... maybe some of us do take it to seriously maybe we should eat a f**king cheeseburger from mc Donald's once in awhile?

Forgive me I'm bitter right now cause I'm eating a turkey patty that is not unlike a hockey puck

Yup waaayyyyy too invested in being healthy. Lol

Thats not what I said....dont be an idiot. You are too vested when you cant enjoy a snack, a sweet, a cookie without laying awake worrying...try reading and comprehending.....thevtwo work together.

I DID NOT SAY they were taking the WLS too serious....I said they are taking the idea of eating something not considered healthy too serious. The surgery isvserious...but eating a fried chicken wing wont kill you neither will a donut, if it does you had other problems than weight.

So eating half a Big Mac is eating healthy? And "life" means eating a Big Mac and Crispy Creme donuts? Or more to the point' date=' is "life" eating what you want, when you want? Maybe life means not being a slave to cravings for crappy food that I used to eat, even half of it.[/quote']

Don't be an idiot....I never said it was my life. I said if I crave one I will have one without feeling guilty.....however because of the sleeve I dont have the cravings....when you read try opening your mind as well....it works. Life is whatever makes you happy.....at 140 with a 24 inch waistline I'm pretty sure that donut won't send me into an unhealthy stage or ruin my life.

Thank you.... I appreciate it. Eating a donut does not make me unhealthy it makes me human...

[Dianne38 81]

People......I didnt say I eat hamburgers and donuts everyday....I said If I crave one or want it Im going to have with out guilt. My God lighten up.....everyone is not as PERFECTLY self controlled as you are. Some of us understand that an indulgence every now then wont end the effects of the sleeve. If it tales total dedication to only healthy foods for you....thats fine, but dont lash out because ot doesnt take that for me.

Now see what you started dean!!

I think you have anger management issues, not to mention you're just plain rude. If someone can't disagree with you without you resorting to name calling....sheesh. You said there is life after surgery, and made it sound like that life included eating junk food. I just asked the rhetorical question, why does life have to be about eating food that we know is bad for us? That was the kind of thinking that got me to the point I was before surgery, and I can't be the only one.

[Dianne38 81]

So true. Butter the bean

Whats true....his comment is way off the point. I said if I crave one I will have one. The comment would pnly be relevent I stated I eat this on a daily schedule. I can assure you that neither of you are any healthier than I am. I teach aerobics 5 days a week....two different times each day the day.... I take no medications besides Vitamins and bioton....Im pretty healthy, even after that killer donut.
