B-Side Question:

What was you favorite childhood outside activity/game?

I remember living for hide & go seek and Tag!

Ahhh to be young again...

Oooh, I loved Red Rover,Mother May I, and freeze tag. All of it! Just being outside with all the kids in the neighborhood. Good times ?

22. My greatest victory is probably moving to NYC almost twelve years ago and not only surviving but thriving in the city.

B Side: Outside I loved playing SPUD, What Time is It Mr Fox, and 500.

Inside I loved my dollhouse, barbies, and American Girl Doll.

#22) my biggest victory so far would be to quit smoking 8 years ago. At the time my husband and grown daughter who lives with us both still smoked (since both have quit ??) so it forced me to be a lot more diligent. I think it prepared me for my wls journey because my family doesn’t have weight issues. They eat healthy meals but also have all the traditional snacks as well as my mom who I care for. Someone help the person who gets in between her and her Wavy Lays ???

Aw, I missed this entirely. lol. Biggest victory in my entire LIFE? I would say purchasing my own home at 26 after struggling to find work for 3 years. It was a very victorious moment. Biggest victory since WLS? Not eating Taco Bell in 5 months. lolol truuuuue facts.

23) an untruthful story I tell myself? I guess I’m going to have to give this one some thought. I really do try to nail myself with any bs or negative thinking but also not get into a place where I’m complacent or think I’ve got it all figured out. ??‍♀️

23. An untruthful story. At my age and in my particular line of work and all the work I've done on myself...any untruthful story I tell myself would have to be buried pretty deep to still exist. I'm not saying it doesn't but it's not a conscious story. Lately though, I've been wondering how I came to some of my decisions when I was younger...of course, the stupid ones...but what on Earth led me to believe those were good choices?

23 That I am a failure in all facets of my life, I believed that, even bought into it, it is so untrue. I am a beautiful Child of a King, I should be walking it, talking it, and not acting like a grubby little serf. I am Frustr8 and that is doggone cool to be! Do I hear an AMEN?

An untruthful story I often tell myself: I don't have any willpower. At least that was what I told myself before WLS. It's amazing how I thought not losing weight was all my fault and I'd I could have just applied more willpower. Magically, I seem to have it in spades now, oh you mean it wasn't my *fault* I couldn't lose weight until I had a bypass?

Buongiorno Bellas!

How's everyone's weekend so far? Always too short ?

B-Side Question:

What are your retirement/dream job/ life aftet work goals?

I was puzzling this out with someone last night qmd honestly i still want to own a small farm/garden but really a tea/coffee shop/cafe or B&B (on the water maybe)... I have been thinking about this for a long time

March 22, 23, 24:

Biggest victory in life this far... IDK i would like to say all the little ones add up and being resilient enough to stay on my personal path although it has been laced with small scenes of disaster.

An untrue story i tell myself is that thete are already doors closed to me that i can never open. Truth is i have never tried yet. It may still be ultimately true, but its a lazy way to look at life.

I want to contribute encouragement, joy, peace and raise my children to be valuable members of humanity in the most meaningful ways.

OMG YESTERDAY'S YOGA POSE WAS HARD ?

Those are amazing goals!
I just want to be healthy enough to enjoy it. I’ve said before how much I love nature so to be able to camp, hike, fish with my husband all sound perfect to me

#24) to have left my children and grand children in a place to carry on giving, living and loving every aspect of their lives and to be strong enough to face the storms they will face.

24. To have made a difference for the positive that helps make the world a better place.

B side. I'm working on it. I love my work now and expect to continue after I'm officially retired. I live by the sea which has also been part of my plan. I think having more time for creativity would float my boat.

25) My biggest fear is losing my mother. She is my rock and I don't know how I'd live without her. My biggest fear re: WLS is regaining.
