Topic: RE: List You Positive Changes!
I agree with all.. here is a few more for me..
1. No more incontinence!!!!! what a relief.
2. No more high blood pressure medicine.
3. I have not been sick with the bronchial cough, people at work even have mentioned this. I was always sick.
4. I am able to carry my nephews up and down a flight of stairs while feeling secure holding them.
5. I am able to play on the floor with my nephews (get up and down)
love those kids!!!!
6. Less ugly comments from my dad. He never knew how to express himself in a positive way without hurting my feelings.
7. Doesn't hurt to wipe when I have gone #2.
8. Sitting comfortably behind the wheel of the car.
9. i wake up on the weekends and do things. Instead of sleeping the weekend away. (i assume less depression and more energy both play a role).
10. MANY MORE TO COME!!!

265/152-155 I am fluctuating between those. Not sure what my goal is yet, the nut said it should be 140, but at 5 feet I do believe it should be lower.
Thanks Pam for this inspirational thread!!

Okay- miss over acheiving looser! I can't believe you are less then 10 lbs to goal.
Enough of that- yes the loss of sensation is bothersome. My Dr. said it is often a result of decresed blood flow. That may potentially be covered by insurance. It might be worth checking into that aspect. You may be surprised. Especially if you also have an increase in skin infections or problematic acne in folds of skin.
Until I can do PS- I will just be flapping in the wind I guess. PS. I do find slipping in a bra helps some times.

Today I had a major WOW moment! I stepped on the scale this morning and I am down to 243. I put that in the BMI calculator and it's 39.2. That's right I'm only OBESE! WOOHOO! Whoever thought I would be excited about being obese. Sometimes I still can't believe that I started with a BMi of 62+. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Yes, I can relate. I'm living the nightmare! I'm now a double A. God help me. I am getting plastics as soon as I can come up with the $$. This, of course is not covered. I am also experiencing less sensation - bummer! Hange in there (no pun intended

Since so many of us have had a rough month. I thought it might be good to remind ourselves of all the positive changes we've seen in our lives. By doing this- it should encourage us to keep fighting and serve as a reminder of what we would lose if we let things slide too far.
So for me, my positive changes:
1. I can run after my 2 year old son
2. Can comfortably fit in my shower
3. Can bend over to tie my show without feeling like I have to suck my stomach in to reach my feet
4. Can shop in the regular size section of the clothing store
5. Don't feel ashamed walking through the grocery line
6. Can fit in a resturant booth AND don't feel overstuffed when I leave
7. I feel more attractive and less insecure about my looks
8. Look forward to family events insead of avoiding them
And so so many more......
