Can't imagine anyone getting offend over this thread!! What a great way to get to know each other and Celebrate our uniqueness.. Here goes my list, spoiler alert- I am pretty boring...

Been happily married 25 years and started dating him when I was 16. True love

I have 17 year old daughter who is going to be a senior this fall. She is outspoken, smart, witty, stunningly beautiful and doesn't look anything like me or my husband. We think she is adopted.

I have been a nurse for 21 years- have worked in administration for the last 10

Love to read. Want to write a book. I am about a third finished with one.

The only thing on my bucket list is to be on the TV show "Survivor". Just need to suck it up and apply

Love to hike, kayak, sunbathe, read, and nap

I am passionate about makeup, skincare products, nail polish and pretty much anything with glitter!! If I could dip my face in glitter I would. My eyeshadow collection grows weekly.

Like LipstickLady I hate and am terrified of spiders!!

Had a tough week, so here it is now:

  • I hate spiders .... especially the really big ones ... they just run too fast!
  • Very confident driver, was lucky to be trained by an instructress who was trained by our late Peter Brock
  • Love 4WD, my dream is getting a Land cruiser next
  • Wanted to be an actress and performer, my parents (both performers) talked me out of it. So I performed in dancing shows, a TV series, commercials and numerous promotions. I got "real" jobs, such as nursing, flight attendant (international division), sales and real estate. Going back to health care soon.
  • I am grateful for travelling the world and being paid for it
  • I am grateful for being trained in all types of communication skills, including Verbal Judo and Conflict Resolution
  • I was trained in self-defence, crowd control and all types of emergency procedures
  • I can do Public Speaking and have no fear of it
  • Tech savvy
  • Totally over PCs, after decades of using them, last year I swapped to an Apple Mac and been happy ever since!
  • I have done some wild stuff in my life and had awesome experiences
  • My health taught me to stop burning my candle at both ends
  • I love animals, love pets. Can't have them at the moment, so I have my pet frogs :)
  • I love all types of funny stuff, I love to have a good laugh and find it the best medicine for me
  • Some people don't know what to make of me ..... I don't tick the boxes for them ... :D
  • My auto-immune disease taught me many lessons, and it is an ongoing process. Sometimes I just have to cry, although I don't cry often .....
  • I love music, have a very eclectic taste
  • I love live shows: music, comedy, illusionist shows and of course Dracula's here on the Gold Coast
  • I hate paperwork, I'd rather clean toilets! Yes, I am supposed to fill out more forms, and I am here on BP instead .....
  • I'd better go back to these boring paper work and forms
  • The end :)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
