1. I love reading anything that gets emotions high--I am a sicko. My least favorite was the trash posted earlier today on the prayer thread. That goes far beyond entertainment to evilness, which I can't abide.
2. When I reached my highest weight I was in the throes of post partum, with an incredibly difficult baby...I ended up eating like crap and what do you know? I got fat
3. The only one that would bother me is a moth. All winged creatures from birds to butterflies freak me out enormously
4. Why just this morning my husband said "damn, you are thin!" Gotta love that feeling
5. Current stats...162/130/125 (my original goal was 145 as that is what I weighed when I got married and I thought there was no way I could go lower...well I zipped past that and just kept losing) I consider anything more just a bonus, now I just need to tone up what is left!
1. Honestly, within the past few weeks (here or at home), what's been your favorite topic of conversation? Or it could be your least favorite, or topic most discussed..........
Topic most discussed lately is my weight loss.
2. There are many different factors in gaining weight. Anything from medical conditions, food as comfort, to just plain eating more than necessary........what do you think is the biggest reason you are/were overweight?
3. Each of these is about to crawl on you (one at a time, LOL). On a scale of one to ten - one means you don't mind at all; ten means you are so freaked out you might need a padded cell - how disturbed are you?
A. Moth- 2 B. Cockroach- 10 C. Spider- 8 D. Baby mouse- 6 E. Centipede- 9 F. Earwigs- 10
4. What's the biggest compliment you've ever received?
That I am a great mother.
5. Please state your current stats. Have you set a date to be at goal by? What's the date? Are you aiming for it full force, or giving yourself some wiggle room?

1. Honestly, within the past few weeks (here or at home), what's been your favorite topic of conversation? Or it could be your least favorite, or topic most discussed.......... Hmmm... Probably vacation. My BF and I just got back from vacation, so I've been telling everyone about that, and now he and I are planning another trip. :)
2. There are many different factors in gaining weight. Anything from medical conditions, food as comfort, to just plain eating more than necessary........what do you think is the biggest reason you are/were overweight? I think it started with environmental factors- all my family members overate, my grandmother had the "clean plate club"... when I got older I began to eat for comfort. In college I found solice in a bag of chips on many occasions. Ugh... I am still working on really conquering that issue.
