1. If your life was a movie, what would it be called??
*** It Could Happen to You -- Not sure why I picked this title; it just kind of popped into my head, and I liked it.
2. Who would play "you" in your movie?
*** Michelle Pfeiffer or Jennifer Garner
3. What would your movie be, drama, comedy, murder mystery?
*** Romantic Comedy with a little Drama thrown in as well -- You know the kind where the guy and the girl keep going to the same places but only seconds apart from each other, so they never meet until several years down the road. I'm convinced that is what's happening to me, and that is why I've never had a boyfriend *LOL* Curious Mickey Diva 24 yo, 5'2" 22/155/120

1) What were the things you wanted (or want) to be able to do after you loose your weight ?
2) Have you done those yet and if so how did it make you feel accomplishing them ?
****** Go on dates - No takers, yet :-( After avoiding men for the first 24 years of my life, I don't know how to now attract them. Cross my legs in public w/o feeling self-conscious - Yep, and I do often ... w/ pride! Wear a bikini - Not yet. Maybe by the time it is summer, I'll be willing to wear one in public. Have more self-confidence - This has improved greatly :-) Do more adventurous things that my size kept me from being able to do - Haven't really had the opportunity to do so, yet, but when the opportunity presents itself, there will be nothing holding me back. Water ski - I'll let you know when it gets warmer and I have a chance to attempt it.
3) Do you still feel like part of the "obese" person lives in side of you and if so, in what ways or situations do you get those old feelings ?
****** Most definitely! Whenever I see another skinny, pretty female, I am uncomfortable and don't want to be compared to her, especially when there are guys around. Whenever I see a cute guy, I look away b/c I still think to myself that I'm not sinny enough, yet, for guys to be interested in me :-( Whenever I'm at a party or a place where there are leftovers, the fat me wants to eat and/or take home as much of the yummy foods as possible (but I've learned to resist this urge -- still my first instinct, though).
4) If you are at goal, or close to it, or just have really done well so far, do you now actually "realise" that you are normal and look great ? Or has it sunk in yet ?
****** I guess I could be considered close to goal (only 35 pounds to go). However, I still look at my body and see this HUGE stomach and ENORMOUS thighs. I don't see how those will be gone by the time I reach 120, so I'm thinking I'm going to lower my goal once I get to 120 When I compare before and after pictures, I can see the difference, but I don't, yet, feel like I'm close to where I want to be. I just get horrified at the thought that I used to be that big :-( The way I look now is the way I've always seen myself, and I wasn't satisfied w/ how I looked before the surgery. As a result, I'm still not satisfied. I'm hoping this will change once I reach goal.

FYI: Potion No. 9 is protein, which helps with hair loss :-) You have to buy it at a salon. I bought some at SmartStyle in Wal-Mart.
