i was scanning and faxing alot of contracts a big ago and came across a NSV that never occurred to me..and i was thinking i have got to post this and

hope someone reads it and goes, hey, thats right, so can i and just maybe....encourage (esp a larger bmi person like myself)...even if for a moment..

I have posted NSV on tying shoes, no more seat belt decapitation, putting my own socks on, fitting into regular bathroom stall...and the list is endless....

i have no shame, i just post reality as i experience it...

last year i couldnt stand for more than 5 min at a time (100% TRUTH) and here i was standing and faxing for a good 25 minutes.....i recall with great clarity having to fax one or two items and coming back to sit down as my legs, just couldnt handle the girth/weight

every step is a step forward..last year when i started this, to get to the bathroom here at work was 54 steps one way. with me being as large as i was, it was so hard. and i had to pause half way.....but after surgery, i went every hour and you know after a while, those 54 steps became easier and easier....that little jaunt down the hall actually helped me.......so you are 100% right GF, just keep on doing it and looksee what happens....you and stairs.

this is for you honey from me
