Hi anna and everyone else~ it's chilly here in NJ too but it's a nice change of pace from the heat of the summer. I love seeing the seasons change. QOD: 1. I was always chubby. I didn't become morbidly obese until after having my first child, depo shot, and laid back lifestyle. 2. LOL....what kind of question is that to ask a former obese person?? I love it all!! 3. Good question. *hugs* Dawn

Hi Anna Here are my answers for today: 1.) Where you obese as a child or did it come on as the years went by? Yes, I was put on my first diet at age 5. 2.) What is your favorite dessert? Right now it's fresh fruit. 3.) If we could meet as a Jan 06 reunion where would you want to meet? Somewhere warm. Maybe Florida. But I don't think I'll be able to come this year. Money is tight since I'm still not working. And if I do find a job, it will be too soon to take a vacation. So I'll have to wait till our 3rd Surgaversary.

Hi everyone, I've had a busy week, wow, what activity here on the board!! I am so excited to see more posting daily menus, hopefully I can get online in the coming days to do it regularly. My eating has been very healthy other than some wine each night. Had a few minutes, here's QOTD: 1.) Where you obese as a child or did it come on as the years went by? I was obese from almost day 1. My grandmother imposed some wickedly wild and restrictive eating parameters on my Mom growing up. When she became the mother, her daughter was having none of that - so from day 1 food was freely given to me. I had a belly role at age 2. Being overweight and it's problems are in my earliest memories; my grandmother taunted me. Obese was the first health word I learned. My weight went up and down my whole life - people saw me gain and lose the same 20-100 lbs over and over and over. I think some wonder if my weight will spike again one day. 2.) What is your favorite dessert? Not a big dessert person. I'd love a slice or two of that cheesecake, too bad it does not ship! The ultimate sweet thing/treat would be a hot fudge brownie sundae. 3.) If we could meet as a Jan 06 reunion where would you want to meet? I go anywhere. And for yesterday's questions... I dont attempt any crafts, my stuff never comes out and I gave it up long ago. I put up holiday lights the day after Thanksgiving to enjoy every minute. I'd not decorated inside for YEARS due to my heavy travel schedule, now that I am around, I am considering getting out all the boxes. **Jersey ** I am with you on those fat/ugly days. We're gorgeous, though, so know someone is working it thru with you....HUGS. Be well, T

I want to play!! 1. I was a chubby kid, always bigger than my stick thin friends, but I don't think I'd be classified as obese. I definitely started gaining weight in college and then after I got married. 2. I love ice cream. Thankfully I can't eat much of it, especially if it's high in sugar/fat as things that are that "liquidy" make me dump. But, I also really love cookies, which don't make me dump 3. Well, I always love Vegas, but my husband and I are going in a couple of weeks for our 15 year anniversary. I'd be in NYC anytime of year, I love it like a second home! Lisa S.

Hi Everyone! 1.) Where you obese as a child or did it come on as the years went by? ~ I started getting fat in 5th grade. I was big but tall in my early and mid teen years. Once I graduated HS I really ballooned. I weighed 186 my freshman year and just kept gaining from there. 2.) What is your favorite dessert? ~ I LOVE ice cream. Absolutely love it. But I can't eat it...it makes me so sick. 3.) If we could meet as a Jan 06 reunion where would you want to meet? ~ I am VERY partial to NYC because I live so close. And I could *definitely* house some people. Hell, if everyone is okay sleeping on sleeping bags, I can house all of us! I live in a split-level house. I have a guest bedroom with a queen bed and there are couches in the living room, rec room and basement so that would take care of 5 people. There is plenty of room for people to crash on the floor, though! So if you all are serious about reuniting in the NYC area, I am only about 35 minutes from Manhattan! Love and hugs, Jersey Mom

Hey guys. Its extremely cold in TN today as well, only 49 degrees. 1.) Where you obese as a child or did it come on as the years went by? I started gaining weight @ around 8 and then lost it by 7th grade. I didnt gain weight again until a year before having my second child. Around 1999-2000. 2.) What is your favorite dessert? Hard question, I love sweets. 3.) If we could meet as a Jan 06 reunion where would you want to meet? Im all for warm places. I do have a timeshare in FL. That place could hold a few of us! NY wouldnt be so bad either, I would just drive up to Dawns.......lol. Kristi

1.) Where you obese as a child or did it come on as the years went by? I was "pleasantly plump". I remember weighing 92 pounds in 4th grade, but I was tall. I weighed 186 the summer between 10th and 11th grades. That began the eating disorders, and the yo-yo weight. Up to 300+ down to 120, back up and back down and back up and back down, until I just gave up. 2.) What is your favorite dessert? Ice cream, soft serve ice cream. It makes me sick, but sometimes I still eat it. 3.) If we could meet as a Jan 06 reunion where would you want to meet? Anywhere is fine with me as long as my finances cooperate. Hazel
