One more month until my THREE year WLS anniversary!

I cannot believe that it has almost been three years since my re-birth!

This has been the most AMAZING experience in my life. I still get choked up about it.
I never realized how being morbidly obese effected my soul. The weight held me down, it choked the life out of me and I let it. I NEVER wanted to diet or exercise, it seemed like punishment. I look back now and realize that I was dying a slow death. The weight had stolen my will and left me a prisoner in a body that was exhausted. Once I started moving, I started losing. Never realizing that it got easier and easier to move as the weight was lost. 1-2 pounds a week for 6 months added up to 50 pounds. I don't know where I found the will & motivation, but I had it. I felt better than I had in years, I was able to start to enjoy exercise and actually look forward to the "high" I got from it plus the feeling of being proud of myself.

Those two things changed my outlook on diet and exercise. Simply put......I found the will to live.

To postops, preops, and those in between.....Give yourself the gift of life and step out of you're comfort zone.
Step away from the couch and take a walk. Enjoy breathing fresh air, seeing the world, and letting them see you.
There is no shame in trying to living you're life...it is the only one you have......LIVE IT!

Okay, I stepped away from my soapbox.

Have a nice day and I am hear if u need me or need a push n the right direction.

Sincerely,
Heather
