Welcome to The Wallet Show Aftercast, all the stuff we did not get to during the course of the show today. I have finished my McDonald's Coke. I have not had a McDonald's Coke, like a large Coke, no ice, which is the best in so long. And I usually nurse something throughout the entire show. So from 630 or right around 7 until the end of the show, I just finished it. It's pretty good. Yeah, and I had a little bit of a McGrittle. I didn't eat the whole thing.

Like, I'm having surgery tomorrow. around seven until the end of the show. I just finished it. It's pretty good. Yeah, and I had a little bit of a McGrittle.

I didn't eat the whole thing.

I'm having surgery tomorrow. And so, like, today is like, oh, yeah, have good things that you want because you can't eat, like, all day tomorrow. And I'm like, but then I felt guilty at having that, like, whole thing. So I threw half of it away. And you don't feel guilty about throwing good food away?

No, I don't.

Like, because if it helps me maintain my waistline.

But... thing so I threw half of it away. And you don't feel guilty about throwing good food away? No, I don't. Like, because if it helps me maintain my waistline. But part of that was like, it's weird because I'm like eating this thing and I'm like, it's just a random Tuesday and I'm eating, because I've put so many restrictions on myself for what I can and can't eat and win. And then I'm like, it's Tuesday.

Oh my gosh.

I feel so good having this stuff.

But then that's where the danger goes because then you're like, why not do it Wednesday?

Hey, Thursday seems pretty good.

And then you get to Dunkin Friday and all bets are off.

Like I have to watch myself because I could easily slip back into my old habits that had me

overweight.

Well, yeah, that or it's also too that you know yourself and you know that you can tend to

get those, that addiction mentality.

Yeah.

And so if you find something that you like, you can easily fall off the track.

It felt so good too to eat it. You're like, oh, man, that's what life feels like when you're not restricting yourself. And I can not restrict myself every day. Oh, my goodness. But again, that's where, like, it comes undone on you. Because then you got to, that's where you have to, I think part of the mentality of weight loss is you have to project yourself into the future and be like, okay, yeah, this felt good today and this is fine. But like, am I going to be happy a month from now when my weight's not where I want and I don't look like I want to look? And so then it's like, that's what was going through my head. And that's why I'm like, all right, get the fix from eating half of it and enjoy that and then put it's like that's what was going through my head and that's why I'm like all right

get the fix from eating half of it and enjoy that and then put it down you know or put it away

throw it away and so that's kind of how I have to do it okay but how are you feeling I mean you

know that tomorrow is the day is your day I'm ready to go ready to go because in that much pain. No, that's the irony of ironies. My wife keeps saying, I know you're hurting if you're agreeing to do a surgery on it. And it's less about that. Like I have moments where it hurts really bad, but then it kind of, it goes in and out. It's not always pain now. But the bigger thing for me is like they haven't moved. So my kidney stones are stuck in there and they're not moving. And so it's great that they don't hurt all the time, but when they do go, it's going to be bad. And so that's where it's like, okay, get it taken care of, get it done. So I'm actually looking forward to it. I'm right with God in case something goes horribly wrong. Like I should be good. Well, I'm close. I'll finish that up tomorrow morning. Well, also, too, like, I guess you worked it out where the anesthesia that they give you won't be the one that kills you. Yes, yeah. So that's a good thing. I was pretty happy about that.
