Question Of the Day

Hi Mariah, I wear the nasal mask. Looks like an oxygen mask but only covers ones nose. PLUS I have to where a chin strap (I think this causes the wrinkles by smooshing my facd up around the mask) because even after 3 years I cant keep my mouth shut (normal for me even in the day time! hehehe). The people I know who use a c-pap all learned to keep their mouth shut after awhile. I think it is because I am such a deep sleeper, if I dont wear it or dont get it tight enough my hubby will wake me up because there is a wind storm! Have a great day! Christine

Oh gosh I have thought about this question for years...Here is my list: 1. Run a marathon 2. Be able to play with my children, (when I have them) instead of telling them to "Go play, mommy will watch." 3. Be able to have sex and not be self-contious the whole tome. Or be able to have sex in places/positions never possible before because of size. 4. To go to New York with my best friend again but this time not be out of breath or in pain every night from walking. 5. To be able to share clothes with the above mentioned best friend. Of course there are many more reasons such as being able to wear lingerie, be able to shop in any store I want, to be a knock out etc. but the ones above are the most important to me. Sam

This was a great question! Not only did it make me think about the things that were most important to me, it was really neat to read other people's posts. It was cool realize that we all experience many of the same things, and yet, we feel alone, like we are the "only one who feels like this" or "has to wear that". As it turns out, we are just individuals who experience common things. And sharing on this board ... pursuing wls ... shows that, given the right opportunity, we will make the choices that will improve our lives and our health. That we don't just "want" to be healthier and happier, but will FIGHT for it. I hope you all have been having a great day. May the rest of your week be an easy one. Cindy
