Me too, only I often feel like I'm the biggest or at least the same size as the biggest, even if I'm not

1.  If someone gave you the opportunity today and it had to be TODAY would you have WLS?  Hell yeah, LapBand 2.  Do you believe that money can buy happiness? Or no? Why? No, too many people win the lottery, spend it all, get divorces, are bankrupt in a couple of years.  I think money could enhance relationships, but if you have to buy it (relationships), it ain't worth it. 3.  Are you more of a morning person or a night owl?  Morning peep 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? Still me, with much more confidence. 5.  What is your all time favorite kind of food? Ex: Mexican, Italian, Chinese, American.....?  FOOD OF ANY KIND, how you think I got like this...American if I had to choose, give me a good ole steak, baked potato, and a salad and I'm good to go.

1. Today?  Nope not ready for that yet. 2. No, money can buy things, but not happiness.  However having enough money to pay the bills sure does lower the stress levels. 3.  Night owl, unless I have been pretending to be a morning person as well. 4.  I'll still be the same easy-going happy (except at that time of the month) person who wears smaller clothes.  Who know though, I may become a real show-off *gg*. 5.  I'm with Angela on this one--steak, baked potato, salad or vegetables.

1. No-absolutely not! WLS is what led me here but after doing my research, I learned that you still have to learn to eat right and exercise. It's too much risk involved(for myself) and I always want to know that regardless of how small I get, I can eat whatever I want in moderation or not. 2. No, money just makes things more comfortable. Once you've bought everything-then what? It gets old. 3. Night owl. 4. No, I don't believe my personality will change when I reach my goal weight because as I'm going through this process it's changing now. I am handling stress better. I am more confident., etc...It's about the process and loving yourself where you are at right now.

5. My favorite unhealthy foods (that I mostly stay away from) are candy, cookies, cakes. My favorite healthy foods that I eat all the time now are fruits. Berries, Kiwi, oranges, etc...

1.  If someone gave you the opportunity today and it had to be TODAY would you have WLS?     In a heart beat. I wouldn't even have to think too hard on it. The reason I'm a non-op is only because I don't have insurance and can't afford to self pay, and my credit is bad so I can't get a loan. 2.  Do you believe that money can buy happiness? Or no? Why? Hard question. I don't think that money itself can buy happiness, but you can achieve happiness depending on where you put/spend your money. I don't know if that makes since, but just about everything costs money now a days, and that cost keeps going up and up. As someone who's on a very low fixed income for the first time in her life, I can say you dont' truly appreciate money till you don't have any. At this point in my life, I would say yes, money could buy my happiness. 3.  Are you more of a morning person or a night owl? Night owl...my 'morning' was just a couple hours ago...at noon...although, if I wasn't such an insomniac, I think my answer would be different. 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? I think it would change a little, I think i would have more self confidance and be a more outgoing person, because I know that I let my weight hold me back alot of times. 5.  What is your all time favorite kind of food? Ex: Mexican, Italian, Chinese, American.....? Ugg. A food question...not what I want to think about right now... lol :-) I like food too much to have just one type of favorite.

1. No. I definitely would not. 2.  Money can buy happy things!!!!  Peace of mind and a strong emotional base can guarantee happiness! 3.  Totally a morning person.  I shut down at the end of the night. 4.  My personality changed a lot after losing 140 pounds.  Even though I tried not to I couldn't help but feel more confident and self-assured.  I didn't change my inner feelings, beliefs or morals, but I definitely became less self-conscious of what I looked like.

5.  Italian, without a doubt.

Christa these were great questions!  I read everyone's responses and kept checking to see if there were new ones!
