BYOC

BYOC - Bring Your Own Craziness...

It's Friday again - time for 5 teeny questions you can copy and paste into your own blog so we can all get to know each other better! Play if you want to!

1. If you could live anywhere in the world - where would it be and why?

If we had the money and where able to afford it, I would love for us to live in Carmel by the sea, from what I have seen it is beautiful there.

2. How old were you when you got drunk for the 1st time?

Hmmm well the time I did drink a lot to where I was sick to my stomach was about 2 months ago. I have drank before but had never gotten sick the way I did that day.

3. What was your favorite toy growing up?

My all time favorite was Strawberry Shortcake.

4. What's your favorite season and why?

My all time favorite is Spring, kuz that's when mine & my dads favorite flowers bloom. The Calla Lillies

5. Repeat question....which blog or comment spoke to you or stuck with you the most this week?

I was or more like still am reading Drazils blogs and I came across one that she wrote a while back, I don't rememeber which one it was. But it talked about ppl bein scared of what it will be like once we loose the weight or something of some sort.
And that is something that I have been thinking about all week, I have been overweight all of my life. I wonder how my life will be after I loose the weight. My husband even joked with me and said that if I get too skinny he will fatten me up. Well he said it in spanish it sounds more nicer in spanish hehe.

I am a slow reader...

Please do not Un follow me :)
I am halway thru finishing Drazil's blogs and found one where she says she unfollows ppl sometimes whom don't post or comment.

I am reading one by one each and everyones blogs, begining to end so it will take me time to get to each and everyone of you all.

So please don't think I am NOT interested in your blogs and delete me.

I will get to you all soon.

What to do what to do....

Since the begining of the year when I first started thinking about WLS I have had set in my mind the lap band. So that is all I have researched, never did it cross my mind to even consider the gastric by pass, never until today.
We went to a friends party today & I mentioned to her I was in the process of getting banded soon. She told me about her sister in law whom I know, and even though I had noticed she (the sil) had lost a lot of weight it didn't even cross my mind that she had had any surgery done. I come to find out she had the gastric done. She has lost a lot of weight and as a matter of fact just recently had a baby & right after the baby she was able to loose all the weight.
So now that I know someone personaly that has had it done I am interested in finding out more about it and seeing if that is for me. Since all I have been researching is the lap band that is mostly all I haqve seen as far as blogs & vlogs.
Has anyone had the bypass?
And the ones with the band... what made you decide to do the band instead of the bypass?
I really need some imput please.

Thank you Drazil!!

I am so excited :) As of now I have 11 followers YAY!!! A big thank you to Drazil! She posted my link on her blog :) Thank you so much!

I am following a lot of people, but still haven't been able to read all of them as I am going one by one and reading from their first post to the most recent one :)...

So please do not think I am not even going to your pages, I will get there soon. Trust me I am SO interested in reading all of your guys stories and folowwing all of your journeys.

BYOC

So after reading thru some blogs, not done with all of them yet. I see that on Friday's there's some questions asked for us to answer. So I just copyed them from another blog and here are my answers. (I do hope this is how it works, and not that O have to wait to be invited to join on this BYOC group)


1. If you had 3 wishes what would they be and why? (you can't wish for more wishes or money!)
1~ To be able to go back to last year when I had lost 47 lbs, so I could of done all that was possible to keep them off and NOT let them sneak back to me.
2~ To have started this lapband process a few years ago so I could be at my goal weight now.
3~ To have planed a better future years ago, and be able to have been homeowners now.


2. If you had all the money in the world and perfect circumstances - how many children would you have and what sex?

Right now we have 1 boy & 1 girl, if we were set money wise I would love to have 1 more of each.


3. Have you ever faked it? (Because I need to laugh...feel free to skip this one if it's too personal.)

nopes I am either in the mood and do it, or not in the mood and don't do it.


4. What movie character do you think you look like?

not a movie character but I have been told that I kinda resemble a mexican singer Jenni Rivera, when I had mi hair colored a shade of brown.


5. Repeat question. Which blog or comment spoke to you or stuck with you this week and why?
Barbara from My New Life Rules and her post::: SABOTAGE Why do we do this to ourselfs.

Food... the thing that should nourish us, becomes more of an instrument to console us, when we are happy, sad, stressed.. or whatever emotion we are not prepared to handle in life

That paragraph right there really got to me, beacause that is how I am, Food is my companion, as much as I say every morning, this will be the day that FOOD will NOT control me, and trust me I really do believe it every morning, but then I am no longer in control, my appetite takes control. I am so ready to change I really really do want to, and I will.
