Oh, DS, how do I love thee?

I never want to take it for granted.  I will be grateful for every step that I walk because I want to remember what it was like to not be able to do so.  I will never make an obese person feel as if they are less worthy of a train seat than anyone else.  I don't care if their leg touches mine.  Big freakin' deal! :)

What an awesome post! As much as the big milestones are incredible, it's the little day-to-day stuff that really improves our quality of life. 

It can be so easy to get accustomed to the new "normal", I think it's great to stop and recognize the wonder of it all.

Awwww, thank you Jenna!  This is what I wanted this for.  Not for a size 8 or 12.  But to just be able to LIVE without obesity coloring every decision I make.  

I am sooo happy for you!!!  Keep on rocking the DS !!

Wonderful post !!

Thank you Debi!  I'm happy.  I spent the weekend getting myself grounded, catching up on some bills, organizing the basement some more.  I *couldn't* do that before.  I wanted to, so badly, but I couldn't.  Couldn't bend without my oxygen being cut off.  Couldn't lift anything.  Couldn't go up and down the stairs.  Every day life was a chore.  

But that's changing.  Slowly, and not so slowly.  I'm ever so grateful!

Awesome post!

Seems like a miracle, no?

Michele

Thank you, Michelle!  I think it IS a miracle.  A medically inspired one, but a miracle nonetheless.  

That was an awesome read! Thanks Tassia, you give me lots to look forward to!

Thanks, Eileen!  Hang on tight, cuz if you blink, you might miss something!

Great post!  I think it's all the little changes each day that I am looking forward to.  I would always watch people walking effortlessly up stairs, walking longing distances without getting winded, and not having to worry whether they would be able to fit in chairs.  I so wanted to be able to do these things.  Now I have a chance!  Thank you DS!
