Don't say anything unkind, untrue, or unnecessary.
Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith ...
it is the price of love.

1. What do YOU feel is your most attractive feature? My boobs.
2. What do others say is your most attractive feature? I'm not sure.
3. What is your favorite memory related to WLS? People I'd known my entire life not recognizing me.
4. What is your favorite NSV? (non scale or non surgical victory) I've become a more confident, yet not as self-absorbed person.
5. Name 3 things you can do since WLS (or want to do if you are pre-Op) Skydive, walk into a room and instantly gain respect of business contacts, run for days and days on very little sleep.
6. Just make a positive statement about your life! We've been living in Dallas for 7 months now and even though I'm not making anywhere near the money I should be due to a lovely little loophole in my compensation plan, we're getting by while still making two house payments and keeping current on the rest of our bills. The fact that we've survived the last year between my layoff and the move, I know we can pretty much get through anything.
