Life is amazing

Glad I can help encourage you!  I honestly have to say that even if I never lose another pound from what I've lost now, I would have zero regrets.  Even now, at almost 100 pounds down, my life is infinitely better than it was a year ago.  It has been so worth it.  Even the strange complication I had three months out :P

If there was a like button it would be pressed. Love this happy and inspirational post.

Aw, thank you so much!  

I totally relate.  I'm glad you posted this.

I think what surprised me is that major changes have already occurred in my life.  I don't think I expected them to happen until I reached my goal.  I envy the opportunities you've had to pursue interests like tai chi, yoga, etc. I'll get there too some day.

When I've had a challenging day, I remember how far I've come and am proud that I've been able to achieve a significant weight loss.  I feel a sense of euphoria and accomplishment when I exercise and feel my body strengthening.  It beats the hell out of double cheeseburgers and fries.

I really get what you're saying.  I also wasn't expecting that my life would be so radically different in such a (relatively) short amount of time.  But instead, here I am and it's like night and day.  

You will get where you want to go and it's fantastic that you've come so far already!  I keep telling myself "yes, I still have a ways to go, but for the first time ever I know I'll get there."

Girly-girl, your post sounds like, well...like you are living life the way it was meant to be lived....unencumbered by all that....whatever you what to call that "stuff" is that we wrapped around ourselves in the former so-called -lives-we used to live....Fly, beautiful butterfly....continue to fly!  So happy for you (yah, and me...and all of us that walk in hope....

Thank you!  I seriously never imagined life would be so awesome - and I know it's just going to get even more awesome.  And for all of us on this path :D

So glad you had an amazing time and are enjoying how great life can be! I can certainly relate... I have moments where I think, "Is this really my life?!" and couldn't be more grateful. Great job girl!!

This is one of the things I talk with my therapist a lot :P  "Whose life am I living?!"  It's just so strange and sometimes I have a hard time wrapping my brain around it.  

I guess there are worse problems to have, eh? ;)

Sounds like a wonderful time! We used to buy a 1/2 cow at a time too, loved knowing exactly where my meat came from and how it was raised. I have never been to a ren faire, not sure why because it seems right up my ally? Enjoy these NSVs, you have earned every one!

And I LOVE the movie CLUE too! :)
