5. What is one of your worst memories as a morbidly obese person? One of my worst memories pre surgery was when I was in Friendlys with my two daughters roughly 10 years ago.  I can recall my younger daughter crying very loudly that she wanted to sit on my lap,,,but she couldn't because there was no room between my stomach and the table....but even worse, the entire place started laughing at me...it was a moment that I'll NEVER forget!

6. What is your favorite "WOW" or "NSV" moment since WLS? My favorite WOW moment was the day that I realized that "my thighs didn't rub anymore"!!!!Only you pear shaped ladies can associate with this one!

*Fun bonus question: OOPS, I forgot to write a fun bonus question...so how about....hmmmmm.....
What famous person do you wish you looked like?

1.  Anything and everything, in moderation! 

2. 

3.  246 was my high, down 65 to 181...no loss in a month 

4.  I haven't had a diet coke in 5 1/2 months.  I'd love one...which would equal 2, so I'll refrain. 

5.  My dad's comment about my pretty face...I HATE that comment!  "but you have a pretty face".  F*** that!  I'm beautiful inside and out no matter what the scale says I weigh (my apology for the ***s...but, I do feel that strongly about that statement!!!  If it upsets someone, I'l edit  )

6.  One of my first NSVs was noticing the back of my thighs touching the tanning bed!  LOL

Fun post Maryellen!

2. I walk about 5 x a week for about 35-40 min a time
3. I've lost a total of 130 pounds. I'd like to lose another 10-20.
4. Biggest challange: Dealing with a marriage that fell apart, kids who have suffered as a result, starting back at school for my master's degree and the dog dying suddenly (all happened at about the same time these past 2 months).
5.Worst memories...so many: I had a huge crush on someone who wouldn't have considered me even remotely due to my size. So painful.
