I don't think that is weird at all. In fact that is a good thing because it means you are gaining more self confidence. Good luck on your journey

Thanks!

I don't think it's weird at all. I'm the same exact way. I'm finally putting myself back out there after almost 2 years of not dating anyone. And I can't wait to be able to change my body type from overweight to fit! So happy for you! I'm realizing that I'm really going to miss chocolate and pizza though! LOL!

Not much of a sweet eater myself... but I do love good food!

Not weird at all! I had lap band in 2012, successful, stomach issues in 2016, so now looking at sleeve surgery in May. :-)

I was in culinary school for a while before my back and hand started messing up real bad. So I totally understand the love of food. Cooking and Baking. I wish I had time to make both my lasagna and my eggless chocolate cake tonight, but I don't. :( But it's okay. I'm going to figure out how to make a "carb free" lasagna using eggplant and zucchini "noodles" and homemade spaghetti sauce. All the store bought sauces I've found contain a lot of sugar. It's usually one of the first ingredients after tomatoes. So I'm going to make my own sugar free spaghetti sauce! And as far as pizza...I'll make me a pizza frittata on pizza nights (when i can eat again. LOL!) I start my mostly liquid diet tomorrow. :D

Those sound delicious!
A lot of people have underlying causes for overeating but I think I just love food.

That's not weird, at all! When I started this journey with my six-month pre-op diet program almost 13 months ago, I made a list of milestones (26 of them in all). When I hit one of the milestones, I notate that on my list along with the date. It keeps me motivated and makes me happy. And some of them are the little things like what you mentioned! (And to be honest, those are the best ones!)

Good luck as you continue your journey!

I made the jump from a few extra pounds to about average. I figure I'll let my pictures do the talking and not going to put off potential matches. My BMI is under 30 so I'm no longer obese. My BMI is almost the same as Lebron James and no one would label as a few extra pounds so I'm basically a shorter version of Lebron James.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
