What are THOSE days for you?
The day I saw cheekbones.
The day I found collarbones. (I stroked them for weeks)
The day my boobs were bigger than my belly.
The day I realized I could take a bath without creating a tidal wave around the tub, AND could wash everything without having to turn side to side.
The day I felt something weird and it turned out to be my sternum.
Ditto for the day I kept looking at my feet as if something were wrong and it was because I had ankles!
The first day I had fun shopping for myself.
The day I no longer had to buy tops according to 2x or even 1x, just xlg.
The day I could get my wedding rings on for the first time in about 12 years.
The day I hit goal.
The day I realized that I looked normal.
All of these days plus many others have brought me to tears.
What are YOURS?
Sue
The day I could jump on the trampoline with my kids and really be under the weight limit.
The day my husband hung my shirts in my teenagers closet thinking they were too small for me
The day I saw my best friend after 6 months and we both cried
When my peeps hug me and say...."where did you go?" "you feel so small"
When I coould tie my shoes and breathe at the same time
When I could drive without the steering wheel touching my tummy
When I had to clear out my closet because its all too big
Theres a few!! Nice topic!
-The day I could cross my legs for first time in decades
-The day I realized that what I thought I was sitting on/laying on, was actually my
tailbone
-The day my t-shirt from Planet Fitness fit - it's getting big now
-The day I fit comfortably in the bathtub
-The day I was in my 1st dance recital since I was 14 (I'm 57 now)
-The day my 7 year old daughter talked about daddy being fat (he's only a little
overweight) and never said anything about me being fat
-The day my husband hugged me and his hands overlapped
-The day I saw my cousin for the first time since before surgery and she said "you
look amazing" - and that was 25+ lbs ago
-The day my husband and I could make love with me being able to be flexible
-The day I finally weighed less than my husband for the first time since I'd met him
I could go on, but I think you get the picture
*The a woman who hates me (happens in real life too) did a double take and told me I looked great. I'm sure the bile in her mouth as she said the words didn't taste too good
*The day I bought calf boots
*The day I bought skinny jeans
*The I realized why my skiiny friends keep their houses so damn hot
*The day I bought a winter coat with a M (medium) on it
*The day I got a free drink at my favorite burger place (I'm not certain, but I think he might have been flirting - second time that happened)
*The day my husband confused my jeans with my daughter's jeans (she's a 00) - bless him for not seeing the difference
The best day ever was when my daughter wrapped her arms around my waste and said "Oh! Mom, I can grab my hand on the other siad!"
The day I shopped for new pjs because my old ones were falling off and realized I fit in XL16/18 for the first time in probably more than 10 years! That was yesterday!
The day I realized that I wear a smaller size top than my husband...again finally!
The day I realized that I didn't need to move the seat back after my husband since my belly was no longer in the way
The day I realized that my laptop fits on my LAP
...and I'm only 11 weeks post-op!
Love it!
