Like getting on a bus and not seeing the look of dread on peoples face at the thought i might sit next too them..

Like sitting on a bus and not have my body "spill out" of my seat onto the person next to me.

Like going in to a clothes shop and not having little or no choice ... Or having to ask if they have it in a bigger size ( even in a "big girls" shop. )

Like eating out and not finishing everything on my plate... And the plate of my husband/ kids...

Like getting a hug from my kids and they ate so so happy that their arms now go all the way around me!! ...

What small things make u happy?

I love your post! Congrats on you successful weight loss and so happy your life has gotten easier! My surgery date was March 5,13 and have to say I have been on so much pain in my incisions I lost track of my goals to a healthier life. Your post was a wonderful reminder. Btw--so far loving the feeling of my double chin getting smaller. It's noticeable when I lay down with my IPad and type. God bless!

I am a RN in a hospital and I have to say losing weight has given me more energy for my 12 hours shifts. I feel better about myself and am way more positive.

I also love that I don't obsess about food anymore and I eat to live not live to eat. There are so many positives from this surgery...

When I shower now I can wrap the towel all the way around me.

My underwear and shoes don't leave indents in my flesh!! Oh happy day!

I feel like my whole world doesn't revolve around food!! I don't get up thinking about breakfast and I don't go to bed thinking About breakfast!!! Holla!!!

I had this conversation with myself earlier...there are times I forget to eat until I get a bit queasy or shaky. I NEVER dreamt I'd ever be someone that could forget to eat!!!!
