What Have I Gave Up?

There were some things that I did have to give up in order to lose my first 70 or so pounds..

♦ I gave up dieting forever

♦ I gave up lugging around an extra person on my 5’2″ frame.

♦ I gave up being afraid I would break a chair when I sat in it

♦ I gave up needing seat belt extenders

♦ I said goodbye to 3x size clothes (and nearly 2x)

♦ I gave up feeling winded after walking 5 feet

♦ I gave up cold pizza or a cold McDonalds cheeseburger for Breakfast

♦ I gave up blaming everyone but me for being over 300 pounds

♦ I gave up knee pain and leg pain (getting better every day)

My list could go on and on but I have not give up anything I wish I had back.

The things I have gained are far more important than the things I lost. (mobility, belief in myself, desire, motivation...)

What are you happy to give up?

How dare them!!!

My in laws are always saying if anything came between hub & I, they take me.

I told you I'm charming!

Though, the thoughts are not reciprocated.

They fucked up their kids! That's why I accept my hubs flaws.

Glad to hear you're able to swollow!

WTH is VGB, BB & DSDB?

They must not like the "p" word

Does Maddy know her gram has that potty mouth??!!

And yet again, it's like reading a sitcom script following you guys.

Ok, I didn't have a chair event, but I missed a step and the next thing I know I'm on the ground with a ruptured achilles tendon. I bet a more petite person could have missed a step without having surgery, 4 months of pt, and not being able to drive for 3 months.

So I feel your pain Tex, physical and emotional.

her needs my FM shoes

I think she's doin fine w/o FM shoes, after all she had a deep throat problem.

She says it was hummus, thats code

Believe it or not Maddy's first word at 1yo was ass. Everytime her mother had her back to her she said ass.

You probably don't know, but Maddy is handicapped and mostly non verbal.

She understands everything and signs & uses I Pad. She has a wicked sense of humor and would love everyone here.
