What's if FEEL like?

Apr 15, 2009

Just felt like writing today.  So what's it feel like to be skinny, slim, small, etc.? It feels amazing. People always say, "you look great!"  Well the look IS awesome. But it doesn't compare to how I feel. 

How I feel when...

* I look in the mirror and see the new me
* I slip into size 8 jeans and a cute T-shirt
* I wear high heals all day long and my feet and ankles aren't screaming after the first hour
* My husband hugs me and I melt in his manly broad sholders and chest and feel so petite
* I'm hopping up five flights of stairs and am not even winded
* I cross my legs out of habit ... just like the lady I always wanted to be
* I see my small pretty panties and know they won't roll down under my big ole belly anymore
* I paint my toe nails and don't have to hold my breath and hold my leg to the side of my belly
* I walked the Breast Cancer walk and didn't feel pain in my back and legs
* I shop for amazing cute, sexy, fabulous clothes
* I speak to other obese women about my new lifestyle and they are inspired to take back their life with WLS
* I step on the scale and it reads just what it read yesterday, last week, and last month (between 145-150)
* I get out of the shower and wrap a towel all the way around me and have room to spare
* I wear my new Nike bathing suit and spent three days at the water park resort riding waterslides with my family
* I get full and satisfied after a few bites
* I create new delicious sugar free recipes for sweets like coffee cheesecake, sweet potatoe cake, and banana pudding with shortbread cookies
* Wear three layers of clothes because I'm freezing, but still look slim

I could go on and on, but you get the picture.  This new life is truely a blessing and I wouldn't change a thing about this journey. God has been so good to me in allowing this new vessel to house the Holy Spirit. I give Him all honor, glory, and praise. Thank you Lord.
