8 days after surgery!!!

15 lbs down... I am so full of emotions I am at a loss on how to express them. I want to cry when I think about how happy I am right now. I feel freedom! Freedom from the chains of food. I don't think about food EVERY second of the day. I enjoy food so much at this point because I am slowly taisting every bite. I don't beat myself up everyday for eating out of control. I am happy to get out of the bed because I know food is not going to be a struggle of wills. 15lbs is not much but but I know for sure this is the begining of something great. I can't wait till me dh has his so we can do this together.

 

I just started working out again. Two days ago I did ten mins on cross trainer in the morning and at night. Yesterday I did 30 mins. just in the morning. I am slowly working my way back to where I was before surgery. I still can't do crunches or weights. But it won't be long!!!!
