    I have a kind heart and a good sense of humor. I'm also slightly past my half-way point (when did that happen??) and I haven't cheated since I restarted last January.

      Re: What is something really cool and special about you?

      Even through all i've been through growing up and all my bad experiences with people, I still find myself trusting people more than I probably should and crediting them with goodness inside until they give me no choice but to think otherwise.

        Hum...it is hard to think about the good stuff in yourself...so I asked my husband what was something that came to mind. And, I've heard this before and it makes me feel good to know I'm thought of this way...

        My DH said that I make a room sparkle when I walk in and have a way of making things seem that they will be fine -- even when they seem the bleakest. He thinks I make people feel special (and I like that part the best).

        The way he was going on I felt like Mary Tyler Moore (theme song). (giggle)

              I like my weight better in kilograms, I feel so much lighter. I weigh "only" 94 kg! LOL!!! Ok, so that's not particularly special.

              Hmmm, special...I have crossed the US in a car and in a rental truck (towing a car) twice, once across I10 and the "southern" route and once across I80 and the "northern" route. Each time I was helping a friend move west.

              I have seen Mt Rushmore up close, driven thru the biker convention in Keystone SD, eaten dinner at Windows on the World in the former World Trade Center Tower in NYC, danced at a Christmas party at the top of the Pru (Prudential Tower) in Boston.

              I have walked across the Brooklyn Bridge several times (that's fun), been to the Sydney Opera house to see a show, walked across "the Coathanger" the Sydney Harbor Bridge (street level, but next time...), ridden a trolley in San Francisco (the only moving state park in the US), walked along the south rim of the Grand Canyon, walked a few trails at Zion National Park, toured the Mint in Philadelphia.

              I have been on both the USS Constitution and the USS Constellation (ships from the Revolutionary war, one in Boston the other in Baltimore), walked the ramparts of Ft McHenry (birthplace of the Star Spangled Banner), been to the Natural History Museum in NY and the Smithsonian in Washington DC, driven by the great Salt Lake in Salt Lake City Utah, have taken photos of most or all of the falls along the Columbia River in Oregon (including Multnomah Falls).

              I have bicycled on a tour of covered bridges in New Hampshire, been to both Ocean Citys (Maryland and New Jersey), dipped my toes in the Gulf of Mexico while in Tampa/St Pete Florida, walked thru Muir Woods in California, and driven down Lombard Street in San Francisco (that's the really curvy one).

              There's probably more I've done or seen or been to but those are what I recall! LOL!!

                  GED is General Equivalancy Diploma for people who do not finish at a traditional high school. It sounds kinda like what you described in England, though.

                  As for me--I can bend my pinkies back to touch my hand. And I can pop out my thumb--got hit with a softball one too many times in the same spot. You're all jealous, I know.

                    I think the best thing about me is that I have been blessed with being able to give birth to five incredibly wonderful children in the past seven years. They truly are my strength. I wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't for them.

                      Re: What is something really cool and special about you?

                      Hmm.

                      I have a letter written to me by the author Robert Jordan. In addition to that signed letter, I have two autographs from him.

                      I went to the same Junior High as NBA player Scottie Pippen.

                      I was published for poetry for the first time when I was still in High School.

                      I have an almost completely auditory memory. I am so 'auditory' that I graduated from college with a 3.67 gpa without taking a single note simply by listening to the lectures during class. The downside of this is that I find it more difficult than many others to learn visually.

                        I have a huge bunch of really fun friends who are half my age or even less. These friends are the ones challenging me, motivating me and supporting me the most in my weight loss. Their vigor is part of what keeps me going at this WOE...partially because I need to keep up with them!

                          Boy I was begining to think there wasn't anything special or really cool about me - I couldn't think of a single thing! Then last night I was talking on the phone with my sister while writing out christmas cards for DH's business customers and I discovered something! I may not be able to chew gum and walk at the same time....... .......but I can hold a conversation in english and write in norwegian at the same time without mistakes on either part! It was soooooooooooooooooo weird when I realized what I was accomplishing!

                              wow... I really can't think of anything particularly special about myself. I mean, there are good things, but something that stands out... ? I'm drawing a blank. I will have to run this by my friends/family. I don't know what makes me special. I feel corny!!
