Stressing about paying for surgery!!

I was self pay as well . I'm saving tons of money now on food. I eat so little. I used to eat out a ton . Now when we do I have something really small ( like soup ) or it will last me several meals as leftovers.  I don't run to the drive thru , My diet pepsi addiction wasn't cheap.  I drink mostly water now. Protein supplements aren't cheap but I won't rely on those forever. Clothes are cheaper when you are thinner. You will be more employable when you are thinner ( sad to say , people hire thinner and you statistically make more money )

It must feel tough spending money on yourself , but you are worth it.
