Topic: RE: Poll for LOSERS! :)

I am not what anyone would call thin but a heck of alot less of me.

 First of all, feeling so well compared to my previous self who could barely climb a few stairs, or walk to the mail box, or shop without the electric cart to get around with.

Getting on a plane and not having to ask for a seatbelt extender.

Getting off alot of my medications.

Having so much more energy.

Not self conscious of my appearance.

I love buying size 10/12 pants and medium shirts instead of 2/3x shirts and 24/26 pants. (Got down to a size 8, but at present back into 10's/12's) working on fitting back in the 8's.

Some of the issues I had before may have not happened to some obese people, as yet.........but why wait and find out, by losing the weight now before other problems can occur is far better than waitng until you are in poor health and barely mobile.

All my best.

Not thin either, but healthier.  I love when I get to the top of a staircase I am not winded and realize I haven't even touched the banister.  In my past life I would have been using the banister to pull myself up the stairs.
Thanks for the reminder.

So not "thin" but I love the fact that I can do things and I have energy to do them. I don't worry about someone looking at me and thinking dayum she's fat. I even got checked out the other day while out to dinner with the hubby. It felt great!

All the emotions are normal and healthy.  Having this surgery was one of the best things I have ever done in my life. There has never been a moment when I regretted it. I feel that a big factor to my success has been doing what the doctor and nutritionist tell me to do and using this website for support. I am sure you will do great.

So far for me it has been not using the seat belt extender on the plane and shopping in areas other than the plus size!

Okay - I need inspiration - for those people who are now thin -

What are your favorite things about being a thin person?? Please share (would love to hear from some of the "oldies" if they're lurking - Where the hell is Julio and Towanda anyway?)
