There are so many "little things" in life that have changed and are changing since losing weight.
I do not take for granted the things that in daily life everyone else can take for granted. Having not been able to do alot of the things that in everyday life I should be able to do. I am grateful to all that have helped me in life. But again I am a constant work in progress!
Now when I get up in the morning, I thank God that I can get up, grab my cane and hobble to the bathroom.
While in the bathroom I no longer need a toilet seat raiser, I do not have to worry about the toilet seat breaking, I am able to wipe and clean myself. (Bernard used to have to be there to clean me after toileting and while he worked in the day I would try to do the best I could with "tools" but he would have to clean me up when he got home). I remember a few times he would come home on his lunch break to help me. Things were a tough challenge.
I know that after my first hundred pounds lost there were alot of changes that I started to notice. I was able to sit a bit more with less pain, although my leg cramps (especially at night) were terriable. These were so severe that muscles relaxers were all that would get them to calm down. I wish nobody to have such cramping in their bodies. Things were getting easier little by little and I would get so excited. Ok, so I still get excited cause each day it seems I am able to things I could'nt before and even just a little easier!
