I FINALLY DID IT! No, not that! LOL!

I have been going to a physio place to work on my knee and they talked to me about their Wellness Program. I went today for my first training session. One of the trainers there created a workout just for me and we went through the session.

I am so stoked! I love working out - I love the way I feel - I love moving my body - it feels sooo good! I miss it.

We also had a good long talk about my upcoming surgery, WLS in general, the good/bad and the ugly. We talked about my emotional eating, my triggers and my plans to deal with them.

She helped me to put together a program for my body and I helped her to learn about WLS and all it entails.

It was a great morning! Enjoy the sunshine everyone!

Good for you on two counts: for getting to the gym, and for educating your trainer about WLS! The stigma will only stay strong as long as people don't understand obesity and WLS. That was very courageous of you.
