Oh....the questions.....

1.  If someone gave you the opportunity today and it had to be TODAY would you have WLS?  2.  Do you believe that money can buy happiness? Or no? Why? 3.  Are you more of a morning person or a night owl? 4.  When you meet your goal weight, do you believe that your personality will change at all, or will you still be the same person? 5.  What is your all time favorite kind of food? Ex: Mexican, Italian, Chinese, American.....?

1.  Hmm Today...Today...Hell YA! Are you kidding me. I am hating work right now I would jump right on board with it. Even though I like losing it by myself. I would have to say yes...I mean if it was free an all. :) 2.  You know I am always going back and forth with this question. Yes and no. I mean they say it doesn't but seriously if I win the lotto tonight. Guess what...I'm going to be freakin happy as ever. And I could get out of debt, and go back to school yes I believe it buys happiness, sorry!  3.  NIGHT OWL! I hate the morning with a passion. 4.  I'm still going to be me. I might have a little bit of a confidence change ok a BIG change on that part but I will still be me. 5.  It's a Toss up between Chinese and Mexican. Oh man...chinese.....thats the winner!

1. Is it for free?  Yes, I would have it.  I feel like WLS would give me the extra umphh I need to get over this hill and make this long-term.  This journey w/o WLS is long and hard for me. I feel like WLS would make the burden lighter. 2. Money can't buy happiness.  I know this from experience. I used to think that if I only made X $ a year I'd be happy.  Well I make twice that now and I'm not "happy".  Sure, I don't worry about how to pay my bills or anything like that and I can buy all sorts of stuff that I want but none of that makes me happy.  What I do think would make me happy is being happy with the way I look and feel.  We'll see how that works out!  Maybe it's the pursuit of happiness that makes us happy. 3. I say I'm a night owl but I still prefer to wake up early cuz I love the sunlight. But truth be told I love staying up late but it's bad for me because I tend to just vegetate all night. That's probably why i like it cuz I can sit there watching TV or playing WoW doing NOTHING and it feels so good. 4. I think my personality will be the same. I think my confidence level will be out the roof though.  I've done this before and got down to 240 lbs and OMG my confidence was SO high! Can't imagine what it would be like at 180lbs! 5.  This one is getting played out! lol  Mexican! There is nothing else. Hmm.. I want mexican today..... nope, can't have it.. too much sodium and too many calories. It's WI day!

1) Yes, I'd do it again.

2) Yes I do.  Because just about everything that makes a person happy can be bought.  Be it clothes, cars, dates (as in mail-order brides), houses - you name it.  Chances are, it can be bought.

3) I'm more productive in the mornings so I'd have to say a morning person, though, I don't like waking up early.  But whatever time I do wake up, that's when I'm most productive.

4) I think I'll become more extroverted.  Less afraid of downfalls with other people, less scared of what other people think of me.

5) Mexican.  Yummm... When I lived in San diego there was this place called the three ponies that was soooo goood.   I ate there every day, literally.

See on the money thing Janina and I are on the same track here. Everything is bought, literally. yea I know you can't Buy love but guess what...you're gonna spend money to go out with the person to get to know them. :)

Thanks Christa!!!! 1.  If someone gave you the opportunity today and it had to be TODAY would you have WLS? yes, lap band. 2.  Do you believe that money can buy happiness? Or no? Why? No, but it does buy FUN! Seriously, no, money does not buy that inner peace. I'd live in a nicer home, drive a nicer car, but that does not sustain the love i have with my friends, family. Time buys more than money does! i'd love to have more time to spend with my kids and grandkids. 3.  Are you more of a morning person or a night owl? Irritating morning person! I leap outa bed. 4.  When you meet your goal weight, do you believe that your personality will change at all, or will you still be the same person? no, i'd still be a crackpot. 5.  What is your all time favorite kind of food? Ex: Mexican, Italian, Chinese, American.....?  ooooo hard....between mex and italian....not sure, going crazy, can't decide....

2.  Let me add to my original response.  Money buys temporary happiness.  When I buy something I've wanted for a long time or have been eyeing for days on end, yes I'm extremely happy!  But then it gets old and the newness is gone. It no longer makes me happy.  I'm tickled pink blue purple and all sortsa colors about my new truck but already I'm having thoughts.. "it's not tall enough... I need bigger tires, maybe I need chrome bed rails.. Man, the interior's not smelling as new anymore.."  I've had it 2 weeks. lol

Good morning gang.  It's hotter than heck here in Cali.  Pushing 100+ today.  Thought I was gonna have heat stroke at 9:00 this morning while I was riding my bike.  This is just wrong.  My skin is so pale that I get moon burn let alone sun burn.  Help! 1. Even though I have lost 107 pounds in less than 7 months (which is quicker than some people lose with WLS) I would still have the surgery.  People ask me all the time "aren't you glad you didn't get approved for the surgery?"  NO!  It would of been a tool to help me with weight loss and my odds of putting the weight back on would have been greatly reduced.  I am a hungry girl and I bet I could out eat Chris any day. I can still put it away like a trucker and I know that losing at least another 50 pounds and keeping it all off is going to be even harder than this first 107 pounds.  2. This ones tough.  Money would make things so much easier and yes it would make me happy.  I do believe that I have what I have for a reason and maybe if I had a lot of money I wouldn't be as happy as I thought I would be.  I don't know.  Someone give me some money and I'll let you know if I am happier.  Kidding! 3. I used to be a 911 dispatcher on the graveyard shift so I am defenitely a night owl.  My favorite time of day though is sunset or dusk.   4. I will be the same ol person just holding my head up a lot higher.  I went to a party this weekend and I wasn't the biggest person in the room.  I actually notice those things.  Do all fat people?   5. I love Mexican alot.  Chips and salsa and a good margarita and I am one happy mamacita but if I had to pick one fav it would be Japanese.  I love sushi.   

oh yeah, I 'size up" a room alla time!  LOL

Me too, isn't that awful?
