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.

That's excellent! What a great motivator for everyone that's in the process. One day I hope I'll be able to say much of the same. All the best!

Bravo!  Fantastic post.  Congratulations to you.  You're an inspiration.

YAY for you!!!

I'm excited to watch all of your journeys and successes!

I'm not thin yet but I completely relate to everything in your post.  My mind and body are stronger and I socialize with people more than I ever have before.  I feel so much better in every aspect of my life.  Thank you for posting this.  

Right on.  So very right on.  I wore a red shirt the other day and my husband of 32 years took a second glance and said, "I have never seen you in that color before."  

Such a great post and I'm so happy for your success. It is amazing how our minds change along with our bodies. And buying beautiful new clothes is an added bonus. Congratulations!
