Being self-employed is a true blessing for anyone who wants more freedom in their livelihood, but it's not without its financial challenges. I know it from my own experience. Still, applying for a personal loan if you're self-pay is possible. You'll just need to have different documents ready to send if the lender asks for them. And of course, there are quick loans that might be helpful in your case (I addressed https://justbloans.com/minnesota/ when I was in the same boat), though it is better to pay such a loan as quickly as possible in order not to overpay.
I think it all depends on how you approach the meal prep -- you could do several variations and freeze them so that you're not eating the same thing every day; I freeze a lot of single portions and then I have options. For me the key is to make sure to actually eat what's in the freezer.

Here is one as an example:
The Importance of Meal Prep For Weight Loss
Good thinking. I have never liked frozen dinners but haven't tried those kinds.
My idea of meal prep is adding a stack of Smart One's and Lean Cuisine frozen dinners to my grocery order. I can happen something different for every meal and know I am in my calorie limit of around 300 calories per meal.

I would love some meal prep ideas and tips too. looking forward to the responses
Hello.I have not had weight loss surgery yet but I am hoping to soon. I am thinking about giving meal prep a try and maybe that will help me lose some weight before I see a surgeon. The only reason I can think of that I wouldn't like it is that don't you end up eating the same foods for days in a row? And what if you are craving something different? Any meal prep ideas and tips would be welcomed. Thank you.
In 2003 I got a care credit loan for lapband surgery in Mexico. I just put down weight loss surgery and had no problems being approved. Honestly not sure how much the medical loan company looks at what it is being used for rather if you can afford to pay the loan back.

I'm self-pay and I am now working to lock down my loan. What services did you address for a medical loan?
