TUESDAY ROLL CALL

Ok guys I will try this today: 1. Are you satisfied with the way you look ? 2. Do you ever miss your old self, like you look at a picture and wonder wow where did she/he go ? 3. Would you ever like to go back and be invisable again (not noticed) ? 4. When you were heavy did you hate to eat in front of people ? Has that changed now ? Very curoius to see what your answers will be these are all issues for me. Have a wonderful day. Tori

My answers are: 1. Are you satisfied with the way you look ? I am happy about the way I look but everytime I work on an area and it looks better something else pops out at me like my face and neck are really bothering me now. 2. Do you ever miss your old self, like you look at a picture and wonder wow where did she/he go ? This is strange I look at old pictures of myself and feel like I have lost an old friend. 3. Would you ever like to go back and be invisable again (not noticed) ? Now that I have had ps an my body looks much better men notice me more and oogle at my chest, I think I liked not being noticed as much before. 4. When you were heavy did you hate to eat in front of people ? Has that changed now ? I used to hate in front of people now it doesn't bother me I munch at my desk all the time, before I would go to lengths to shut my office door or go to parties and not touch the buffet because I ddin't want people to see me eat, like it was a mystery how I got so heavy...lol HAVE A GREAT DAY TORI

Good questions, Tori! 1. Are you satisfied with the way you look ? For the most part. I still see a heavy person at times. Other times I am shocked at the reflection. 2. Do you ever miss your old self, like you look at a picture and wonder wow where did she/he go ? Interesting question. I always thought I looked the same regardless of weight, I am still learning to distinguish those various stages of how big I was..... 3. Would you ever like to go back and be invisable again (not noticed) ? No, I enjoy where I am now and never want to go back. Now is the time to live life to the fullest. 4. When you were heavy did you hate to eat in front of people ? Has that changed now ? The hardest part was post op - people expect fat people to eat everything and are insulted when they dont. Sometimes I am uncomfortable now as such HUGE portions are served and people just enjoy consuming huge amounts of food and drink...and I cant do that anymore. I have stopped apologizing and just smile and say I am not a big eater. When I was heavy I ate fairly normally but then hoarded food or snuck in a big snack when nobody was looking. ~Tiff

Hey Tori! Thanks for doing this today! 1. Are you satisfied with the way you look ? ~ Yes and no. I am thrilled with the way I look but I still want to lose more. Since I have been eating crap again lately, I feel as though I look really fat. 2. Do you ever miss your old self, like you look at a picture and wonder wow where did she/he go ? ~ I never miss her. I look back at old photos and think of how much time I wasted looking and feeling the way I did then. 3. Would you ever like to go back and be invisable again (not noticed) ? ~ Ahh...this is going to sound vain but I was never really invisible. Maybe because of my height or the really blonde hair, I always kind of stood out and men always reacted favorably towards me. I was very lucky. 4. When you were heavy did you hate to eat in front of people ? Has that changed now ? ~ I tried not to be one of those people who did not eat in front of other people...but I am sure I restrained myself at times. But now I eat in front of people all the time and I don't worry about being judged. Have a great day!

Hello Tori, good questions and thanks for doing this.... 1. Are you satisfied with the way you look ? No I am not satisfied...I want to be smaller. I have this huge muffin top and it sticks out of my pants all the time....UGGHH 2. Do you ever miss your old self, like you look at a picture and wonder wow where did she/he go ? No I do not miss her/me I just don't beleive I ever was her.....I think I was always a skinny person cought inside a fat body! 3. Would you ever like to go back and be invisable again (not noticed) ? No I would not. People treat you better when you are thin.... 4. When you were heavy did you hate to eat in front of people ? Has that changed now ? Yes I hated eating in front of people and still do. If you eat more they comment and if you eat a little they comment. People just need to learn to keep thier mouths shut.... Hugs, Chris

Hi Tori Here are my answers: 1. Are you satisfied with the way you look ? Not yet. Still need to lose about 15 pounds or so and then need some PS to get me to where I want to be.

Would you ever like to go back and be invisable again (not noticed) ? No way 4. When you were heavy did you hate to eat in front of people ? Has that changed now ? I didn't pay any attention.

Hi Tori I have some free moments today, so here I am! 1. Are you satisfied with the way you look ? actually, I was just talking with chris about this yesterday...I am actually at a point now where I am mostly happy, but starting to be concerned...my weight has not stopped dropping, and my face is beginning to look gaunt and I can feel all of my ribs, I don't want to GAIn any weight but I definitely feel it is time to stop losing. 2. Do you ever miss your old self, like you look at a picture and wonder wow where did she/he go ? HELLLLLL NO!!!!!!! 3. Would you ever like to go back and be invisable again (not noticed) ? again, HELLLLL NO!! 4. When you were heavy did you hate to eat in front of people ? Has that changed now ? yes, when I was dating I would not eat in front of guys...if it was people I was comfortable around I ate as much as I would if I was alone. Karyn

Hi Tori, 1. Are you satisfied with the way you look ? No, I need to get 20 pounds of baby weight off. More over, I hate how wrinkly my face and neck are now that they are thinner. If insurance will not pay for a TT and it has to be an out of pocket expense, I would rather pay to have my face and neck done. Have you seen the restylin product? It was on Rachel Ray last week and is very interesting. 2. Do you ever miss your old self, like you look at a picture and wonder wow where did she/he go ? HECK no, that big fat mama is not missed at all. 3. Would you ever like to go back and be invisable again (not noticed) ? I still fade into the crowd. 4. When you were heavy did you hate to eat in front of people ? Has that changed now ? Yes, I was a pig in front of people! No, now I just eat smaller quantities. Have a great afternoon!

These are great questions!! 1. Are you satisfied with the way you look ? I am except for my tummy. I would like the tire to be smaller...thats all. Just smaller! Boobs are being taken care of this week! 2. Do you ever miss your old self, like you look at a picture and wonder wow where did she/he go ? No! And that's because when I was even at my heaviest I never saw myself as being that big until I looked at the pics. I had to look a the pics.... 3. Would you ever like to go back and be invisable again (not noticed) ? Sometimes. I get bummed about my love life (or the lack thereof). I kinda feel like I'm still not being recognized by the decent ones 4. When you were heavy did you hate to eat in front of people ? Has that changed now ? Didn't hate to eat in front of everyone....they already knew how I got like that! But I get embarassed sometimes by how little I eat sometimes. Some people just think I'm being a picky eater or I don't like to eat. I just can't! April
