One thing I expected and really wanted was greater mobility - I had a 4 year old nephew and new twin nephews that I babysat for a couple of times a week, and realized that I couldn't keep up with them as a MO obese aunt... and I wanted to be around for them for a long, long time... Of course, I have that mobility now! They are now seven and three, and we play on the floor and run at the park - I love sliding with them! They think it's pretty funny when Aunt Jean chases them up the ladders!

What I really didn't expect was that with my appearance and my attitude improving so much, I found a wonderful man that makes me very, very happy... the one drawback is that I don't have as much time to spend with my nephews, so it was almost a double-edged sword... I have the ability to play with them more, but not the time!

Now I'm looking forward to the day when my daughter decides it's time for grandchildren - because I know I'll be here for them, (God willing), and that I'll be able to enjoy them!

Thank you so much! It is the inside that counts, but even if I felt pretty on the inside I havent felt pretty on the outside in so long! I always joked I had a skinny girls mind in a big girls body....I never "felt" obese...certainly not morbidly obese! But the mirrors and scales said different. It just nice to have things match for once! Thanks again, I really dont think I could be doing this without everyones support on here
