Funny how things change....

Oct 07, 2009

It's funny how things have changed.  Where do I began, as I notice my body shrinking I didn't think my friends would shrink too.  But I realize not everyone can deal with the changes.  Sometimes I have a hard time dealing with the changes. since I had surgery one of my good friends has slowly faded just like these extra pounds. No calls, emails, text messages nothing. Maybe because our friendship was centered around food before that she things we no longer have anything in common.   I first noticed that  while my other friends are always postive and would walk with me, work out with me and eat with me in mind she's never available which is fine, this is my journey.  She recently told someone that I had lost like 50lbs and she knows I lost over 100 lbs.  I have come to realize that weight may not be the only thing you lose with this sleeve.  I'm ok with that.  I will continue to reach out to her and hope in time she will adjust to the new me. 

On a good note, I took a flight to visit family in San Jose, CA and flew Jetblue I was a little nervous because I was flying by myself and usually I'm with someone so I don't worry about where I'm going to sit and always need to ask for  a seatbelt extension.  But now I would be sitting by a total stranger.  Well it felt so good to fit in my seat and not need a seabelt extension.  Sometimes it's hard to realize how much I have lost until things like this happen.   

I have a camping trip planned later this month and may just go horseback riding...I'm feeling adventerous..

Until next month...
