I am a new person.

May 19, 2009

It's kind of funny that whether or not we may want to admit that we become a totally new and different creation after we have experienced substantial weight loss. I used to think that I would be exactly the same after....that's just not possible. Not only have people begun treating and looking at me differently, family, friends, co-workers even strangers but I am treating myself differently. It's almost as if I care about myself more now than I ever have in my life. It's incredible. I am so careful about what I put in me...lol! How I look everyday. I monitor how I'm feeling when I wake up in the morning and I will not allow anyone to keep me up late at night. I feel like a prize, a treasure. I cherish myself. I walk and exercise and move. I want to feel the air in my lungs and feel my muscles move and flex becoming stronger and tighter. I have observed my skin transform because I eat better and faithfully I take my vitamins and minerals. I drink water. I didn't before. I had no idea what it felt like to really, really care about me. To know ME.
I know this makes me appear stuck up but for the first time in my life I am putting me first. It feels and it is ok.
