I vote for 10. You have changed so much, what an inspiration!

I got your back!! *HUGS* Always here to pick you up or slap ya *grin* lol Seriously though. I think you will be glad you did it. I am proud of you for all you have done and you will see that others will see your story and be grateful that you did it also. And I want a copy of what ever they print. Gotta have a keep sake of a famous friend ya know!! *huggles* Felicia =0)

Thanks, Felicia. Interesting...when I read your words: "No changing that as its in the past to stay," it hit me that it doesn't really feel like it's in the past...not fully...and maybe that's where I'm having the problem with this! So...if I do this and then freak out about it, I'll count on you (and all of you) to pick me up and slap me out of it Lisa

Thanks, Aime. I've posted this on the three boards I read regularly and everyone who's responded seems to be on the "Do it!" side! Lisa

YES Do it Do it Do it!! I vote to do it!! You should be proud of where you are now, not ashamed of where you were. No changing that as its in the past to stay. Our past helps shape us, good and bad. This is GOOD! I say do it. You EARNED it! No one is going to gawk at you and just think of the people you may inspire that are sitting where you WERE sitting. I find the more I talk to people and the more they hear my story the more amazed people are and the less "down on WLS" they are. I hear all the time that they had no idea about this or that. People are shocked yes at how much I weighed but they "see" what I am now and really have no concept of the size I once was. I am not ashamed of weighing over 400lbs because I took charge and changed it! JUST LIKE YOU!!! I vote DO IT! *huggles* Felicia =0)
