Hello Jeanna! 1) What is your favorite holiday show? --- A Christmas Story 2) What are your goals for the new year? --- Stick to the rules, especially eating only at meal time. 3) Does your significant other help out around the house and if so what do you prefer them to do? (if you could choose) --- N/A 4) What is the one food you feel "not guilty" treating yourself to since surgery? --- I just feel guilty about amounts and not types. 5) What is your food weakness and does it make you sick now? --- Eggs. My favorite meal is the simple American breakfast: 2 eggs, hash browns, sausage and toast. Eggs are starting to make me sick. Darn it. 6) Do you exercise less now than just post surgery? --- I normally don't do well in the winter. I'm working on that. 7) What was/is your one wow moment that you will never forget? --- Luckily, there are so many. Each was special in its own way. The one that stands out, however is a month ago when I had to attend a function. I pulled out my best clothes and put them on. I looked like a hobo. I proceeded to empty out my closet and each set was too big--much too big. I smiled, got my wallet and went shopping. Have a nice day all! Ben
