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?

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.

potty mouth....thats funny.....where you been bb?

I'm afraid to buy it. What if I die, my parents are cleaning out my belongings and they find it. Their catholic daughter will be in hell!!

But I could tell my husband to burn it before calling 911. Forget it, he will never remember a two step to do list!!
