What neat questions! Thanks for doing this!

Okay, Tell me about your body.

What do you love about it?

I have always been very flexible. I also like that I carry my weight well. In other words, when I am at my goal weight, I look like I weigh a lot less than many other women the same height and weight.

What would you miss if you lost it?

My eyesight. I have learned American Sign Language, and know I could function if I lost my hearing, but my fingertips do not seem to have the sensitivity for Braille. Also, I love to sew, knit, crochet, and so many things that would be so difficult or impossible if I could not see.

How strong are you? How fast are you? What can you do that no one else can?

I am not very strong or fast. There is nothing I can do that no one else can do, but there are many things I can do that not many other people can do, such as my sign language, my crafts, etc.

I was just about to say that I love your question of the week too!

So: my body: It's okay except for my major problem area - upper thigh! grr

I love: my height, and my athleticism (I'm sure I butchered that word).

I would miss all of it a lot if I lost it - I can't say what I would miss the most, because it's all pretty important.

I'm pretty strong and pretty slow - even though I have long legs and everybody assumes I run track - if they only knew*

I like me loose skin and all. My husband treats me as if I am beautiful so I feel beautiful.

The would I miss if I lost it? My mind. My mind is my favorite body part. It's really the internal things I'd miss. Iâ€™d also hate to lose my personality. Some people lose their kindness with weight loss and treat other over weight people not so nice.

Iâ€™ve never been this strong and I love this. Iâ€™ve been thin before but never strong. I was afraid of doing weights while thin but not while I was bigger in high school. I guess I felt it didnâ€™t matter if I was bulky it was all covered in flab but I got hyper concerned about looking too muscular the first time I lost the weight
