1. For your wls journey, what has been the most difficult hurdle? How did you cross it?  Not drinking with my dinner. I asked the Dr and he said I can have small amounts. Also the biggest one is realizing that I am not a size 26/28 anymore. I still pick up clothes that are way to big for me. Perception is something that is really hard to change. 2. What are your kids names, and why did you choose them? I have two fur babies... they are named Pumpkin and Autumn... Can you guess what time of year is my favorite? 3. How much was gas when you first started driving? I remember it being like 89 cents a gallon. It was awesome 5 bucks would get you enough to cruise for the night. 4. Whats your favorite color? I love pink!! When I was heavy I would never wear this color but now I have a ton of it. I have this cool Electra townie bike that is pink with pink wall tires. It is awesome. Pink phone, pink gym bags, just lots of pink stuff. 5. Whats your favorite summer movie? I love the year that Independence Day came out! What an amazing movie to come out that year at the right time.
