It tickles me every day to think back at all the things I THOUGHT I was but turns out, I was just fat.

I thought I was a naturally gassy person. I rarely have gas now that I am eating a better diet. Turns out, I was just fat.

I thought my seizure meds were making me extremely tired at the end of the day. I still take the same meds and have so much more energy. Turns out, I was just fat.

LMAO - love all of these! I am having my surgery Aug 5th so I will add to the stream once I realize my "I was just fat" items. I am sure I will have a loooonng list. Right now I blame everything on being fat so we will see where fat ends and "oh crap I really do have a bad back" begins!
