Small Signs of Change

Since surgery 9 weeks ago I've mainly been using the scale to measure progress.  Since my weight loss has slowed (I know this is normal...thanks SparkleKitty!) I've noticed other small things that remind me of how my body has changed so far:

  • I wasn't winded and didn't need a break every few steps when walking up a rather long and steep hill at the Toronto Zoo with the hubs
  • I went to the movies recently and the arms of the seat did not dig into my spare tire
  • I can crouch down and stand back up fairly easily, something I NEVER could do pre-weight loss
  • I sleep so much better and awake each day refreshed and excited for the day
  • I sweat less (and no, I'm not dehydrated)
  • Clothes I bought last summer and couldn't wear because they were ill-fitting, now fit comfortably- it's like a whole new wardrobe!
  • Sugary foods make me nauseous (but I kind of like having that as a deterrent, lol)
  • No more body aches unless I was especially active the day before- no aching feet, back, or feeling tired all the time

I can't wait to see how else my life is changed by this wonderful gift in the days and months to come!

  One of my favorite NSVs was buying clothes.  I bought some jeans at Costco, took them home to try on, and they were two sizes too big for me.  My jaw hit the floor.  I returned them and bought the smaller size.
