WWho, besides me, is SICK and tired of all the diet center commercials?



Recommended Posts

Seriously! It's every single commercial!! If it's not about a diet center, it's about a diet supplement, or a super duper magic somethingerother, where if you BUY into it, you'll lose massive amounts of weight....GUARANTEED!!!! I'm thinking about quitting TV and just sticking with Netflix. The commercials just make me mad. They RUINED me. Those diet centers did. They made me yo-yo for 30 years. GRRR Ok, I'm done now. Thanks for letting me vent.

Fear not! January will be over soon and the weight loss rush will slow down as New Year's resolutions fade...

It's not just the TV. Back when I was a regular at the Y, January was awful: no parking, crowded locker room, etc. once February rolled around everything started to go back to normal.

EVERY year [heck, every darn week!!] I used to wonder, should I try this one or that one [diet plan, gym, etc]

NOW...Those commercials don't bother me a BIT! Last year this time, I was only 4 weeks or so post-op. NOW--one year later--I hear them and say, THANK GOD I don't have to worry about ANY of that anymore!!!!!!!!!" And I want to tell everyone, "free yourself of all that angst. WLS worked fine for me and it likely will for you, too."

The ads will be a part of life, so don't even trip about them. They are no longer your personal concern. Don't trip out about things you cannot change. Also, as others said, they'll die down soon.

PS: If you need something to focus on, pray for me that I can get off these last 20 pounds! I admit I got comfortable and complacent after I reached Onederland in May; and into the 180s after that. But I want to get to ~160-165 by the end of March, perhaps.

There have been a few shows on the "latest" diet fads. I've watched a few of them, including brain stimulation. I think I am more amused knowing that I have tried and failed so many diet fads. When they are over, I just shake my head and laugh. It's been 3 months since watching them. Before, I would hang on every word and think maybe it would be worth trying. Now, I can't stand to watch them, let alone hear people talk about them.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
