When you're away with work and forget the hotel has a spa so decide to buy a new swimsuit and go for a swim and jacuzzi, you pick up the smallest size they sell but you still struggle to find something small enough in the shop ?

When you can't understand why it's uncomfortable to sit in your usual chair and realize it is because you are now balancing on your bony butt.

When you can no longer eyeball your clothing size at the store.

When sales people in "regular sized" clothing stores actually come up to you and smile knowing you are a very potential customer.

When you rest your face on your hand and it is uncomfortable because you can feel the bones in your face now as well as your arms and shoulders. Odd feeling, but a good thing.

- When one day you suddenly realize that men are rushing to open doors for you and giving you more than a once over everywhere you go! Been a long time!

-When you fly and not only do you not need a belt extender, but you are perfectly comfortable with room to spare.

-When you are wrapping string around your rings like you did with your HS boyfriends class ring trying to buy time until you know what size you will actually be before paying to resize them!

-When you giving away all your clothes without fear because you know you will never need them again.

-When you can wear leggings and look GOOD.

-When you can go into any store and find clothes that fit (also can be a problem)

-When you are excited about shopping (again, a problem!!! :) )

-When not being able to get a King size bed at a hotel isn't a crisis anymore!

- Going to a family gathering and sitting on the floor Indian style playing with the kids and your whole extended family looks at you in shock!

- And finally, hosting a birthday party for your 10 year old boys and hearing one of the little boys say, "Dude, your Mom is HOT". Disturbing.....yes. But I am not gonna lie....I smiled a little.

When you're called someone else's name and it's a skinny person instead of one of the other big people you're usually confused with (and look nothing like, not even hair color)!

When you don't recognize yourself in the window reflection. When you have to buy a coccyx pillow - yowch!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
