Changes

I decided to change my web name from FOR ME AND MY FAMILY to MAKINGPROGRESS.

 

For me making progress and having myself and my family see and support the changes just reinforces all of the progress I have made so far on my journey to my goal.

 

I am a mother of 5 kids and can't wait till the day that I can jump on a trampoline without the worry I would break through. I can't wait for the day that I can tie my shoes with little effort without unbuttoning my pants to make myself more comfortable. I am sure that all of us are there or have been there.

 

I focus now on making goal, what that will be and feel like, and having the moment when I realize that I can tie my shoes with no effort and that I make that first attempt at jumping on a trampoline with no worries.

 

I would encourage you to write on a piece of paper on your bathroom mirror anything that you can't do now because of your weight and that you will do when you get to your desired healthy weight. Believe me it's motivation.

 

I so look forward to the day that I can take that list down and go do everything on it. :thumbup:

 

I'm motivated because I am focused on my changes for a healthier me.

You have the perfect outlook on this life changing surgery. My fave thing to do is cross my legs without having to kind of lean to the side of the chair. It felt great, and you'll find an assortment of things along the way that totally amaze you ! ! !
