Things that are better now....
1) I'm SO much more comfortable. Clothes are loose, I bend easily, I cross my legs. I paint my toenails!
2) My feet don't hurt! Partly I'm carrying around 43 fewer pounds and partly MY FEET ARE THINNER so shoes don't rub.
3) My back doesn't hurt. I have a condition where a vertebrae can slip forward--so belly weight aggravates. It will flare up if I stand for long periods still, but it's got to be LONG now, not just cooking dinner like it used to be.
4) I feel great on my bicycle. In the past, I was always self-conscious about breathing hard when I was riding. I swear, I would ride up hills breathing through my nose just to show the @#$%$#@s. Now, I'm a lot faster, and I don't mind breathing hard. I'm not worried about what anybody else thinks.
SO HAPPY WITH MY SLEEVE.
