Times...they are a changin'!

Apr 11, 2010

So there are lots of changes.  Changes in how I view food, changes in how I feel both mentally and physically.  Change is good!

Food is fuel now, not fun.  I eat to live, not live to eat.  This is not always fun, but what gratification I used to find in food has been replaced with the gratification I feel when I look in the mirror or try on clothes in smaller sizes.  It's a trade I would make a million times over.

For the first time since elementary school, my waist is less than 40"!  It's an unbelievable thing to me, one I can barely wrap my head around.  I look so much better but even more importantly I feel utterly amazing compared to a few months ago.  No more diabetes, no more joint pain, normal blood pressure and heart rate and falling cholesterol.  This surgery has truly saved my life and at the very least extended it.

I am happier and more content with myself too.  That's a huge change from the days of beating myself up for being fat and feeling gross.

...and the journey continues.
