~~Thorough Thursdays~~

 It’s Thursday and A New Tay's  been nominated to be on the hot seat!!!!  

Here's how it will work: A BAF member will be selected each week. They will submit a profile and then the rest of BAF will get to ask all the questions they want while the selectee is on the 'hot seat'. With the hopes that our selectee will cooperate and answer all!!!!! 

It's a great way to get to know someone or just be plain ol' nosy 

So with that said.......go ahead and ask her anything you’d like to!

Hey Tay.

How has your LapBand jopurney been? What was your final breaking point to decide to have surgerey?

Hey Michelle!

My lapband journey has been great!  The first 18 months were a breeze.  I gained about 10-15lbs after that point due to stressing over some family issues.  I really can't complain tho, I'm still smaller than I have ever been in my adult life. 

My breaking point was even tho I consider myself slightly introverted, I was becoming even more so...to the point of being a hermit.  I didn't want to go anywhere outside of work and school functions.  I was just not myself and became extremely depressed. 

I didn't want anything to do with RNY, but when I heard about and researched Lapband, I knew it was for me.  I was on cloud 9 from the first meeting with the doctor's office.  I knew my life was going to change for the better!

Last Book Read:  currently reading Terry McMillan’s new one Getting to Happy

2.  Did WLS make your foot shrink?
3.  Newspaper or TV news?
4.  Have you ever been driving along in your car listening to the radio, heard a new song you liked, and wished that you could record it for later?
5.  You ever pass gas in line at the grocery store and then pretend it wasn't you?
6.  If Ronald McDonald and The Burger King got into a fight who do you think would win?
7. What best describes your style of dress: 
                      a. Ya know...  I really hate Mondays; 
                      b. A rich farmer and a poor ballroom dancer had some fabric and made this outfit;
