I feel like I answered this question recently, but could it have been a different question? Is it just a coincidence? I don’t know, and I’m too lazy to do any research on the topic at 7:07am on a Friday.
Sacrifice is a really heavy word. A sacrifice is what a soldier does when they give their life for their country. It is what you do when you give your child’s life to the fire god at the local temple. You know, serious stuff. What have I done that measures up to things like that?
I sacrificed eating sugar to the gods of weight loss. How’s that for making bariatric surgery more dramatic? Did it work? No? Oh well. It is the first thing that pops into my tiny little brain when I think of the word sacrifice. It’s not what I’d call noble or anything.
I don’t really mean to be a smart ass here. I am looking forward to reading through other people’s responses to this because many of you really are noble and deserve respect for what you’ve lived through. Don’t hold my being a doofus against me, please and thank you.

I have read many of your posts about your stomach surgery and the aftermath. I can honestly say, you have sacrificed far more than I would ever be willing to give. It may not be a noble cause in the broadest sense, but it’s still a sacrifice on a real sense. And if it means your family gets a better you for a longer time, there’s a noble reason right there. I may think you’re crazy, but you probably feel the same about my “sacrifices” as well.
