Btw hi everyone.

I definitely feel the cold a lot more readily now and always carry a wrap with me when I go places that are air conditioned and sometimes a sweater. I am fine with the heat, however, the really humid weather makes me wilt some. . . but it is nothing like it used to be for me, I could not even go outside in the really humid weather, my breathing would get labored and my heart pound in my chest, mowing the yard was at least a 2 hour ordeal, yesterday I went out and mowed both my front and back yards in under 50 minutes. . . life today is wonderful, I am going on 57 years young and feel much more like a woman in her 30s. . .
Thanks for sharing the joys of living life in the summer, as a thinner, healthier and younger feeling person and you made absolute sense.

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

I am 52 years young. I was having a lot of fun this weekend, but got a glimpse of myself dressed for summer in a full-length mirror. EWWWW. Well, I have spider veins, unbelievable thigh cellulite, extra skin that makes it difficult to see that I have knees, etc. etc. But I am in love, and I was fully participating in summer fun at an OA picnic on Sunday. And I realize that I FEEL much younger than I look. LOL. And, well, frankly, that's WONDERFUL, because the reverse of that would be feeling much older than I look. I mean maybe I look 60 and feel 25, which is so much better (in my book, at least) than looking 25 but feeling 60 (or more). Am I making any sense?
The other thing is that since losing weight I have never lost that "Jeez, I'm always cold" feeling. When I was heavy, I was always HOT. I mean putting on my socks made me break a sweat hot. I would get out of the shower and start sweating as I was toweling off. Now, I'm always on the "cool" side. Even in the high temperatures this weekend, I was comfortable. I needed a sweater in the movie theater. I turn OFF the air conditioning when Bill goes to work, and sleep with just the ceiling fan going. It is one of the effects of surgery that I still appreciate.
Thanks for letting me share.

Incredible WOW moments like the one you speak of is one of the joys of this journey! Yes, clothes shopping today sure is different. . . I sped shopped myself into a nice summer dress at Ross' this weekend and I still look at some clothes thinking that is the right size for me, when in fact it is too big. . .
Hope you enjoyed showing off in your new bathing suit and cover!!!

Hope Deanna feels better and that as a byproduct of being home, you get a little extra relaxation, though I know with a sick child that is unlikely. . .
My day is being spent at work, after meeting with some friends, then home to bed. . .
Hope everyone has a great day!!!
