Things I've learned about being thin
Being thin is magical to those of us who were formally not.
I now actively engage with other people at work. I no longer wear black and try to fade into the background.
I can now approach strangers with confidence.
I lead meetings with the authority I never felt before. It's a new mindset. You start to feel important and worthy.
I feel strong...not just mentally but my body. I can feel my thigh muscles flexing when I walk. It makes me want to run because I can.
Buying clothes is not only enjoyable but a breeze. No more black pants for me!!!
Remember, this is just me. It's more than how my body looks; it's how my mind works differently. Do people treat me better? You bet! But that is also because I am more sociable, happy, approachable, confident, etc. People can feel that vibe.
I feel like I can do anything. And so can you.

Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way. Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!
