My new wow moments...

Dec 15, 2009

I have to say that I am trying to change my focus. In doing so, I want to recognize my sucess that I have had so far. These are a few of my new wow moments.

My regular bath towel now fits all the way around me with nothing hanging out
I am able to purchase clothing in the regular misses section and they fit (size 16)
I have started jogging
I am off my C-PAP machine
I am able to cross my legs
purchase regular size tights/pantyhose
wearing more dresses/skirts
I have been taking the stairs and parking further away
 begining to accessorize more
I have donated 10 bags of clothing that was too big
I fit in my car better...no more aches and pains from spilling over the seat
I sit in chairs and they dont break (what a great feeling)

Overall, I have to say my anxiety level has gone way down. Prior to surgery I would hate to walk into a crowded room because I felt like everyone was staring at me and I couldnt hide. Now, I am begining to feel like I blend in. It's nice to see that people are looking at me as if I am normal now and not because of my obesity. I am so happy with my surgery! I feel so much better, there are no words that can describe it. I feel as if I was a caged bird who is now able to fly freely. I still have a ways to go but I am so happy with myself even now. Given all that I went through with my bowel obstruction, and having two surgeries I would do it all over again in a hearbeat.
