Six months out and the changes are amazing. So many, here’s my list:
1. I now feel like a regular old fat person
2. I’m sometimes not the biggest person in the room
3. I can shop at department stores
4. I like the way I look in dresses and skirts
5. I can move
6. I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in
7. No prescription meds
8. I can cross my legs
9. I can move my car seat forward and still be comfortable
10. The seatbelt no longer strangles me
11. I’m wearing a size 22/24 (never ever have I seen those numbers)
12. I’m within 5 pounds of my lowest adult weight
13. I have more confidence
14. I have the courage to tackle some of my issues
15. I can make it through an entire spin class
16. I actually took a spin class
17. I can flex my bicep and actually see some movement
18. I fit into life
19. Weight limits on furniture are passing thoughts instead of an anxiety causing obsession
20. I can borrow clothes from my friends (first time ever)
21. I know I will be successful and I can picture myself at my goal
22. No seat belt extender needed on a plane
23. My towels fit all the way around me
24. I can see my collarbones
25. I ran!
26. My office chair no longer creaks nor drops a few inches when I sit in it
27. No joint pain upon waking
28. My friend asked me if I wanted to do a 5k with her
29. I can wear clothes because I like them and not just because they fit
30. I feel good!
There’s more but that’s all I can think of for now.
