Monday Question of the day...

I DONT LIKE MYSELF....,.. for the first time I LOVE myself.  I actually maybe vain but love to look at the person looking back at me in the mirror.  I like the person within all the way from the outer skin to the deep inside of me. I try to live by do unto to others.... And I think that I am a GREAT friend.  So I would definately be friends with  myself. 

Cindy you are picking some awesome questions hun!!!

My answer is a resounding YES.  I love myself now.  That being said I am not 100% happy with how i look yet but I am also an optimist and I see the goal line and I am charging ahead to it.  A lot of the reason I wanted this surgery is I looked at myself in the mirror and ahted myself and said WHO ARE YOU.  I was not the me of old who was so active I was BEGGED to slow down.  I wanted at least 75% of that old me back.

Am I someone I would want to be friends with?  Absolutely.  I know this might sound concieted but when I walk into a room I take control.  I want people to know i am there but at the same time i want them to feel comfortable with me.  One of my best features, and a lot of the reason I wanted to go into the medical field, is I strive on helping others.  That is something i get from this site too.  I can share my experiences and ups and downs with others to maybe ease some fears or remove some doubts.  Every week I talk to at least one new person about my surgery.  It has changed my life in ways I never thought it would.  I want to let others know that there is hope in this epidemic called obestity. 

In closing this I will say one last thing...losing has never been so cool. 

Do I like myelf--?

hmmmm I take pride in my accomplishments (other than the fact that i cant spell for SH!%)
I get mad at myself for the stupidity I have allowed to continue in my life, I have tried to take steps to correct it, and it always seems like 2 steps forward, and 3 back. 

I tend to be a better friend than what i get in return.  I try to not think about it that way.  I try to think that I am doing the same thing that any one of friends would do if the roles were reserved.  There are just two problems with this, 1.  I tend to not get my self in what ever kind of situation that may be, and 2. On the few occaisions that I have I am generally left completely alone.

I try to not letter is bother me, but it does sometimes.  The rest of the time I try to look at it as though I am earning BROWNIE POINTS for Heavens Gates.

I like myself. i think that I'm  a little difficult to be with though. I expect a lot out of myself (over achiever BIG TIME) and that carries over into my expectations of others.  I know that I've changed a lot since wls. I'm more confident in who I am and what I'm capable of now. There's always room for improvement too though.
