5 Q's

No one's done this in a while, so I'm doing it!! 1) If you had the option of either taking a diet pill with phenomenal results for 6 months, or having WLS and going down the route I am (ie: barely losing but) for the rest of your life, which would you pick?

2) Do you say "Thank you" when someone says "God bless you" when you sneeze?

3) Do you watch Baseball?  What's your favorite team?

4) Do you think you're an attention seeker or attention giver? 

5) What kind of sneakers do you wear? What do they look like?

1)  I think I'd do WLS again.  In 6 months time, I doubt I could get down to where I need to be and with WLS, although it will take me (A LOT) longer, I have a shot at getting to my goal.

2)  I always say Thank you.

3)  I'm a Yankees girl, though embarassing to admit.  We're in such a slump this season.  No one is playing for the team - it's just a bunch of big shots playing for the pay and not for each other.  Sad. 4)  I think I'm an attention giver.

5)  Today I have on Nike Shox.  They're white with red shox (heels) and blue swooshs on the sides.  I like 'em.

Woohoo Questions!!!!!  Thank Janina!! 1.  Gosh....thats a tuffy right there.  I guess it all depends. Is this pill cheap? Like would it cost less than the WLS.  I guess if it cost less I would go with the pill. But if it cost the same...I would go with the WLS. 2.  Yessums I sure do. 3.  No I don'****ch baseball....I usually watch the World Series for college Softball though. :) Arizona is my fav. Or I might  watch some basketball...go Pistons! Woohoo! 4.  I strive on attention. :) I love it. I gotta get attetion so I am an attention seeker! But I do give attention especially the cat at work! :) He manipulates me into doing whatever he wants! Seriously! He has the weirdest meow and he won't stop until I give him what he wants and he is always pawing at my face until I pet him...he's the coolest cat! 5.  Uh....cheapo ones lol. Seriously, I could care less what my tenni boppers look like. Currently I am wearing flip flops and my nike sandals that I have had for 5 years...they're wonderful!

1) If you had the option of either taking a diet pill with phenomenal results for 6 months, or having WLS and going down the route I am (ie: barely losing but) for the rest of your life, which would you pick? I would use the pill.  WLS (as is any surgery) can be risky and you have to change your lifestyle regardless for permanent success, so why take the risk of having the surgery unless you absolutely have to. 2) Do you say "Thank you" when someone says "God bless you" when you sneeze? Yes

3) Do you watch Baseball?  What's your favorite team? No, I think baseball is boring.

4) Do you think you're an attention seeker or attention giver?  Neither or both, I think I can play either role depending on the cir****tance. 5) What kind of sneakers do you wear? What do they look like? As I type I'm wearing a pair of those old fashioned low top Converse sneaks that have come back in style.  I'm going through my second childhood.

1.) I would take a pill, and focus on gradual weight loss, and muscle tone.. I would not want to deal with all that excess skin after words. 2.) I sneeze and I say .. Excuse me.. and if anyone says bless you, I do say  Thank you 3.) I hate sports with a passion 4.) I give attention... but that doesn't stop me from seeking it 5.) I don't wear sneakers..I have never been a sneakers sort of gal.

1.  Since I have so much to lose, I would have to go with WLS. 2.  Always 3.  Normally I don'****ch baseball, but I've been to 5 games this summer and loved every minute of it.  Of course, since it was my 10-year-old nephews games I don't think they count.  Normally I don'****ch baseball. 4.  Attention giver definitely. 5.  Reebok DMX Max walking shoe. These are the only sneakers I have found that really cushion my feet.  Now with all the weight I'm carrying, a good pair of sneakers is a MUST!!!!

1. I would do the WLS.  I know I would become dependant on those pills.  I'd be an addict and probably never change my eating habits.   2. Yes I always say Thank You.   3. I do no****ch baseball.  Too slow for me.

4. I am an attention giver for sure.  I treat my man like a king. 

5. I wear Asics.  They are blue and silver but are starting to look a little brown.  I get horrible blisters on my feet from walking and these are the only ones that haven't done that.  I will defenitely stick to this brand. 

1) If you had the option of either taking a diet pill with phenomenal results for 6 months, or having WLS and going down the route I am (ie: barely losing but) for the rest of your life, which would you pick? I picked plan B. I'm with you,'Nina. I need to re-learn how to eat-- magic pills don't stop you from self-polluting, which hurts in other ways besides just fat. 2) Do you say "Thank you" when someone says "God bless you" when you sneeze? I thank them, as a matter of courtesy, but the whole process is a little silly. 3) Do you watch Baseball?  What's your favorite team? I don'****ch baseball myself, but I find that baseball fans are some of the nicer people I know.  4) Do you think you're an attention seeker or attention giver?  Until recently I was 368 pounds and had bright red hair, so I am kinda hard to miss. I'd rather get attention for the things I do than any visceral junk. I'm actually probably neither one, if that's possible. I'd like to be a little more stealthy. 5) What kind of sneakers do you wear? What do they look like? You'll always get the same answer here-- New Balance sneaks, in high number series. It's the only thing I don't compromise on-- I need the anti-pronator bar--- otherwise I have to get custom orthopedic shoes....yuck. I did just get a nifty pair of Propet sneaks that have a sling back for summer, though-- they're super comfy too.

1) If I had to pick one or the other, the diet pill. 2)yes 3)I don't really follow it, but I do love going to St. Louis Cardinal baseball games when given the opportunity. 4)  Both.  Have to be an attention-giver when you are a parent, but I often find myself seeking attention--not one of my favourite qualities about myself. 5)Dr. Scholl's.  Plain white.  Nothing special

I dunno.. pills/poss side effects vs WLS/complications.  I'm attempting to get into changing bad habits and exersizing, uh...I dunno 2) Do you say "Thank you" when someone says "God bless you" when you sneeze? Yah 3) Do you watch Baseball?  What's your favorite team? Don'****ch too often - but I'd say I'm a Mets fan

4) Do you think you're an attention seeker or attention giver?  ok - I admit it, seeker

5) What kind of sneakers do you wear? What do they look like? Usually New Balance.  I hate to admit it, but I've ben wearing Crocs lately.  My size 11 feet look soooo delicate in them!
