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 :)

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
