100 things about me
I am stealing this idea from Amber Lynn. Mostly because I am bored and I think it is a good way to explore some inner truths about myself.
(I hope she doesn't mind!)

4. I have only done drugs once (mushrooms) and Have absolutely no desire to do them at all.
5. I have the ability to lie in almost any situation.
6. I lost my virginity to a one night stand in my first year of college - just because.
7. I hate rumors but find them easy to whisper to my friends (only sometimes).

Wow, I think I know more about you now than I know about my wife. That is crazy. Couple of questions though. You say that you are overweight because you want to be. Cool. However, you said you have lost weight. Why, if you are happy? Plus, you said you rarely order desert...but if you like to eat too much, what gives? That was fun, but I doubt I'll do mine.
I really have no idea why I am overweight. Over eating and possible binge eating. But those who know me say I should be thin and they shouldn't as I eat better than they do. I indulge on special occasions... but I don't force myself to exercise. Like I said good at making the plan - bad at executing it.
I forgot to mention one though.
I don't really like fruit... prefer veggies to fruit.

Oh - weight loss due to medication change and being very careful with what goes in mouth.
That's all cool.

Thanks for the kind words. It was good to write again. I need to more often.

Today is the 24th of March and I just re-read this blog.
I don't think it negative and I stand by everything that I said. In fact, I find it to be one of my more honest moments...
