A Wonderful Day!

I woke up today and it was cold. It had rained overnight, and the roads were wet and it was overcast. I rolled over in bed, rached down, and felt a hip bone! Yes, MY hip bone! I had to get up just to do a happy-dance!

I'm approaching a 70-lb. weight loss. I've been at a plateau for a couple weeks now, which is normal, I'm not concerned. I don't even get on the scale weekly. I dont' want to focus on a number, but my health and how I feel. And I feel great! Have weight loss surgery has given me a fresh outlook and a new attitude. I have hope again. I didn't realize what a burden being so heavy was for me. Being heavy was a normal part of my life for 2-3 decades; it sorta seemed like an old friend. A friend I fought with a lot, but very familiiar nonetheless, and sort of comfortable, too.

Now that "friend" is leaving. And I'm not the least bit sad to see the backsaide of her! Nor am I sad to see my own because it's getting smaller! :) If anyone reading this is considering weight loss surgery, I'd encourage you to explore it fully. Attend a seminar, get more info, visit websites that has forums where WLS patients cn freely talk and ask and answer questions. It has changed how I feel about life so much for the better.

I was shopping today, and strolled through the Ladies' Clothes (not Women's). A good bit of new Spring merchandise is out, and it made me happy all over again. No longer will I be buying clothes that fit, and hoping to have a bit of style. I'll be buying clothes that are stylish, and of course they fit. Semantics, you say? Not to me! It makes all the difference in the world!
