That s an impressive list, I must say. Here's a funny story about an equally terrible song. I met a car salesman in Myrtle Beach, SC who used to be a fulltime musician. He said that he was playing an afternoon gig at a hotel and somehow the band ended up playing "The Electric Slide" for an hour and a half. That night he had another gig at a bar and the same exact thing happened. the next day, he got a job selling cars.

It is so true what you say, and I love that quote. My daughter too is much better of learning to eat well at this age. She has inherited my propensity to gain weight, but she has also inherited my type A personality. now that she knows what needs to be done to keep from gaining weight, she is determined to do it. We are partners in this; I support her efforts to walk the line between keeping a healthy weight and keeping a healthy mind and attitude. She has lost 15 pounds and is now convinced that she is beautiful. (She was always beautiful, but she didn't believe it before). I tell he what I know and explain that her road will be easier because I can share this with her and we can learn from each other. I love her so much, and I wish she didn't inherit this from me, but at least we know how to treat it.
I'm really not one for quotes, but I think Oprah's common reference to Maya Angelou's "when you know better, you do better" may fit here ;). I have regrets about how I've handled my life, and particularly my weight, but I did the best I could with what I knew. The good news is now that I "know better" about how to level the playing field regarding treating morbid obesity, I was able to pass that along to my daughter. As a result, she had WLS at 31, as opposed to me at 56.
