Feel better and better daily
Jul 31, 2009
I cannot believe I am down 50lbs since surgery and better still I am down a total of 31". I feel so good. I have so much energy. This is absolutely the best thing I have ever done for myself. I feel like I have added years onto my life. I have a much better outlook now. I have started to care about me again. I care about what I wear, having my nails and hair done again, wearing more makeup, and generally enjoying finding clothes to wear. The compliments are wonderful to hear. I can't wait to be able to actually see what everyone else sees. I still see the huge me. I still have a long way to go but thank God I am not where I was and I don't ever want to go back there again. I am so much happier. Its strange people always thought I was a happy person before but now they even comment on the sparkle they see back in my eyes and the spring in my step. They see how much happier I am and thats a really good feeling. I don't dread cleaning my house or cooking or anything for that matter that would require me to stand for any length of time because my legs, back and feet hurt so bad and now they don't anymore. I am actually looking forward to going on vacations and short trips to amusement parks , the beach and the mountains again. This surgery has absolutely been a life saver for me and I would do it again in a heart beat! And I am teaching myself to eat better and to exercise and I actually enjoy it because I am not miserable anymore. I had forgotten what it was like to feel this way and I don't ever want to forget again. And I know that if losing 50lbs has done this for me I can't even imagine what another 50 - 90 lbs will do. I can't wait its a wonderful journey to be on and I am enjoying all of it...I may get discouraged sometimes because I don't see the numbers go down on the scale as fast as I would like but you know what thats okay because the inches are leaving and I can wait on the numbers....I am actually pretty proud of myself for changing my life and doing what I need to to prolong my life. And with the help of my friends and family but most of all God I will be a success........
