I'm wasting money peoples!



Recommended Posts

My husband and I will split the meal then I usually eat about 1/4 to 1/2 of that. If I do Ill take the rest home to have for lunch the next day. If you take it home to eat later itll probably keep hubby from eating it.

I've learned to not order certain things that aren't good when reheated. And I plan for meals that I make at home. For instance, when my sisters and I went out for dinner the other night, I ordered a burger and rice and Beans. I knew I would just eat half the burger meat. I took the bun and the rice and beans home. So for the second night, I just made hamburgers meat patties, used my bun for my hubby, the beans and rice and had a meal! All I spent was money on hamburger! Sometimes I just order sides, but chicken fingers, Soups, side salads, and mozzerlla sticks get old. :(

I need to quit buying the same portions of food I bought before. when going out. I am just wasting it. when will I learn.

I need a good swift kick in the butt if I order food that says "HEY you cant eat all that!"

Sometimes I take it home but I dont really like leftovers much they taste funny to me..

I need to start looking at the kids menus ..lol

You are so right!!!!!

I did the kids menu but more times than not they wouldn't let me order from that menu.

In the land of buffets, I purchased one of those books w/ coupons. Buy one get one free. So now, I can take one of my children and I can get the free buffet.

It's neat...and I am so excited for you. Now when I go thru drive thru...it's just something off the dollar menu. Yep, just one thing. And sometimes it doesn't even matter...something to fill my belly.

My relationship with food is so much different today than last year.

You know, something I USED to do when I ordered fast food. Id be woried about if the clerk was thinking I was a pig, so Id act like I was getting food for others as well and then wind up either WAY over eating or throwing in the trash what I just got. Being obese sometimes makes you do crazy things! I am so glad I dont do that anymore. I try and stay away from drive thrus now and when I do I just get 1 item. No burgers or fries. They are too pasty and will stick. Maybe chicken strips and I get the small one and eat maybe 1/4 of that.

      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... :(
