Catching Up

It is hard to believe that it has been almost a month and a week since I have posted. I am finding that it is becoming more and more difficult to keep up with everything. I remember when I first started this whole process and I wondered if I would ever get to the point I am at now. Don't get me wrong - I was very confident in me being able to do it, but to actually visualize myself where I am at now, it seems like so long ago and it felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulders or should I say my body. I feel like such a different person now - I am more outgoing, more personable, more social in all aspects of my life. I find myself now taking my shirt off outside and being the envy of other men in the neighborhood and the gym - I have become a total gym rat - my wife thinks I am married to the gym and not her anymore. Many of my neighbors and friends can't believe how well I have turned out - seeing how they new me before my surgery ad how I looked then. Total dramatic change - quite jaw dropping if you look at my pictures and compare before and after shots. Life is certainly greener on the other side when you aren't so heavy. People treat you very different when you are heavy.It has been such a wonderful experience for me and my family. I am finally the person who I always wanted to be. I look in the mirror and truly love my self not just mentally, but physically also. I am not being conceitied, but it is what it is - I like the way I look now and I now know that other people love the way I look. If I had a dollar for every compliment I have received so far, I could buy a new car - literally. I am going to take every compliment I get because I have truly worked my tail off to get where I am now. I have said this many times, the surgery is a tool we are given to help us, but what we do with that tool after surgery is totally up to us. I have used my tool to the fullest to become the best person that I know how to be.
Life is fantastic. I feel like I am beating a dead horse sometimes by saying this all the time, but it never gets old in my book.
