10 things I didn't know 7 months ago

From my blog this morning:

  1. It's easier to shave your armpits... when you can see your armpits. 
  2. Same with legs
  3. Now that I can sit with my legs crossed, it's the only comfortable way. 
  4. I have ribs, hips, knees, and knuckles. 
  5. You don't lose weight all over - it happens first here, then there. 
  6. I have veins on the tops of my feet. 
  7. Sizes on smaller clothing varies a lot more than on larger clothing. I was a 24W consistently for years. But now, in a single trying-on session, I can wear a too-big 12 and a too small 16. 
  8. Tailbones are, quite literally, a pain in the ass. 
  9. There are so many foods I have never tried, simply because they don't serve them at fast food places or fry them. 
  10. Pooping or not pooping can make quite a difference in your weight. 

Add to my list! What have you learned?

Omg so true...crossing legs or sitting "indian style" is a VICTORY in its self. Just went on a cruise and actually wore a bathing suit...not perfect..but pretty damn good. Walked down the beach hand in hand with my husband feeling very confident as well.   Got a stateroom with a bath tub (Im a bath person) this time and as I got into the VERY narrow tub...I said outloud to myself..."I would have never fit in this before...woo hoo".  What a gift we gave ourselves right?

When I fall down flat on your back it's alot easier to get up now!  Slipped on ice on Mon and then tripped on a cord and down again on Wed.

What can I say I'm a klutz!  Plus all your ten.  Such a treat to cross my legs!  Oh, I can't forget; sitting "in a booth" at restaurants as opposed to a table.  love it!

                Can't Never Did Nothin !!

Exercising can be enjoyable.

Sex is 10x better when you're not carrying around an extra person 

clothes are WAY cuter! 

I never realized how little energy I had until I lost the weight, now I have to get up and move around during the day or I get antsy

I totally agree with the sex thing! Aside from just feeling better about myself, I can get into much more pleasurable positions now! ;)

1. Clothes shopping can be fun! Before surgery my husband literally had to go with me to get me to buy anything.

2. Exercise gives me more energy. And I love it!!
