Daniel2015 got a reaction from Jessh4579 in Finally seeing it!
Jess,
I completely understand where you're coming from. It is all about redefining the relationship with food. Truly, I've learned to use food properly. I acknowledge there's a choice everyday, every meal, every bite. I, too, saw this as a tool. I waited so that when I did this, I could commit not for the short-term, but the long-term. This certainly is no diet. And as cliche as it sounds, it is a lifestyle shift. There's no exit ramp here.
The beauty is reaching a point where the benefits far exceed any longing for days past-and I had them. But now, I'd never trade the life I have for anything. I think sometimes people don't reach that threshold before they start to give up or revert to former ways of eating. I've kept strict perimeters, but I eat a balanced diet.
I'm glad you found inspiration. It's still hard for me to fully process this 500 lb. person now lives in the 180's, can walk 5 miles at a time, enjoys flying, being active, etc.
So, yes! All the changes have lead me not to become someone else, but to explore new facets of myself that I didn't know were there.
I've enjoyed messaging and talking to people here. We certainly don't experience the same journey but it's nice to connect with one another! Support is crucial!!
Be well,
Daniel

Anna,
I think perception is key. Sometimes taking the right step can feel like the wrong move only because there's some initial discomfort & fear.
You're correct, the physical pain will continue to decrease, but it's important to remember why you took this step to begin with. It wasn't to harm yourself, but to help yourself.
It may be tough to see the positives right now, but you have to trust and have faith in the journey. All the best is yet to come.
As for hunger, focus on getting your fluids and Proteins. Staying on top of both with help with hunger pains.
I'm here for you!
