Getting to know you/whats new

Hello all. How is everyone. I kind of took this idea from the Colorado forum. Our forum is pretty dead over there, so we used to post a"whats new," post everyday to see if we could ge poeple to come out of lurkdom. I thought I'd do something similar here just as a way to catch up with everyone, and too give a way for lurkers to come out of hiding if they want to.  1. What is your # one reason for wanting/having WLS? Honestly, I know this is oversimplified, but I just don't want to be fat anymore. It has been a sorespot, and a struggle in my life for too long.  2.Who is #1 on your fantasy lovers list? okay I know I asked the question, but it is a tie up for me, between Chris Isaak, and Billy Joe(Green Day).  3. What is your biggest pet peeve? People singing along to the radio. 4.If you could be doing anyhting right now what would it be? Traveling. 5.what is your favorite book?  To Kill A Mockingbird  All right people its your turn now...

What's up everyone! I am new to the 20's board and fairly new to the site and have been one of the lurkers just reading everyone else's posts. I guess now that it is getting closer to my surgery I should get to know some people! So here goes the answers: 1) My # 1 reason is I AM TIRED OF BEING FAT AND TIRED!!!! I think that's good enough. I am 29 years old (yea I am hanging on to my 20's but it's ok ) 2) My #1 fantasy Lover would have to be Indiana Jones, not Harrison Ford but Indiana!!! Or Wentworth Miller (Michael Scholfield from Prison Break). 3) My biggest pet peeve would have to be people with dirty ears. I have OCD on thsi topic and it's making me cringe thinking about it.......Next Question Please! 4) If I could be doing something else right now (I am at work) I would be home sleeping! 5) My favorite book....There are so many to choose from....but I will pick Memoirs of a Geisha. Thanks for reading and I look forward to many more talks with all of you!  (Oh yea I will get a pic soon. The ones from my phone won't upload for some reason

Hello! 1:I had WLS because I am not fat at heart. I was tired of being tired and depressed and hating myself. I was tired of worrying about diabetes, and of my back locking up. I want to be THIN! I want to be normal! I want ME to be the first thing someone sees, not my endless miles of breast or gut.  2: OOOkay number one... Johnny Depp. We would do nasty dirty dirty filthy things.  3; Pet peve would be annoying stupid people. I don't have the time or space for them in my life. 4: I would be winning the 300+ million dollar lotto. 5: I read a lot so I have more than one, but let's go with either: The Handmaid's Tale or The Talisman.

out of lurkdom.... 1. My number one reason honestly wasjust to be healthy. the looks things was just a by-product. 2.Total fantasy chicks are Either Jessica Simpson or Angelina Jolie. Love the hell outta both of them. 3. I think my biggest pet peeve is people chewing out loud. i cant effin  stand that. 4. right now i wish i was sleeping. i have a hard time being calm nowadays. losiing 250 lbs. will do that to ya. 5. Harry Potter!!! I know it's not one book, but i have read them all and i love them. no joke.

1. I want to be healthly and be here for my daughter. Plus I am very uncomfortable in my own skin. I would like to have some self confidence.

2. Orlando Bloom! Hes my husband!

3. Not refilling the ice cube tray! Oh man that really bugs me!!

4. I would like to see my family again. THey all live so far away.

5.what is your favorite book? Where the red fern grows (since I was 10)., but Harry Potters are a close second.

#1 Reason for WLS - I wanted to do something about my escalating health issues so that I would not die young and leave my wife and kids behind without a father. #1 Fantasy Lover - Heather Locklear - I used to watch Melrose Place just to see her...

#3 Biggest Pet peeve - fake co-workers - you know the type, the one's with brown stains on their noses and calouses on their knees

#4 If I could be doing anything right now what would it be? Laying in bed cuddling with my kids. I've been in NC since Wednesday and I really really miss them.

#5 Favorite Book - Walden by Henry David Thoreau - It's all about enjoying life by simplifying it. Shed the trappings of our world, and lose the stress of keeping up with Joneses!
