Well..life aint half bad.
I find myself complaining about being fat ( I'm really not..but it's hard to see myself as I really am now for some reason) and complaining about this and that. I stopped doing this to myself, and every day write down some of the things I struggled to do before. It's so nice to just DO THINGS and not think about it. Not think about where I'm parking at the mall, because I don't feel like walking across the whole thing to get to such and such store. I run up the stairs with the laundry basket..before I'd think "ugh...I'm miserable" as I would drag it up.
I'm grateful that I was able to have this surgery almost 14 months ago and
lose HALF of myself as of yesterday.
It seems to strange when my 12 year old son, *****sembles Dennis the Menace in looks and spirit will tell me to "SLOW DOWN..quit running mom!" I will say "I'm not running" and he laughs and say's " yes you are !"
The time has gone so fast and the weight falls off so quickly also, sometimes it's hard to absorb everything physically and mentally. I have had many struggles with things ( mentally..going from a morbidly obese person to now " normal") but I love waking up and not having to think about how I feel physically. * ugh my aching feet*
I'm also grateful I have great people to talk to that understand.
Have a great weekend all of you " great people" !!!!!!

Hopefully soon enough. Glad to see you found this site! It's been a lifesaver for me! When I have felt bummed out or need to ask a question i can always find help here.
You will rock your new band! Before you know it..you will be shrinking away! And each day you will feel better! I remember going to my first swapkins last fall and seeing the smaller women there and thinking " well, there is no way I will get that small, but if I can just get somewhat close I will be satisfied" And a year later I am so very very close to my goal. All things are possible! You have worked hard to make this decision to do this..to improve your health and life. For me, making that decsion was the hardest part. Head to a coffee group on a Saturday and you won't regret it ! :) There is a nice group that meets in Maple Grove every other Saturday if that isnt too far for you. I try to make it when I can, it's an hour drive for me, but sooo worth it !
Take care and best wishes :)
