I just finished spending three hours taping to paint a room. Getting on the floor. Climbing ladders. Bending over. Reaching in awkward positions. And I'm not sore or tired. I'm ready to go all night. I forgot what it's like to be skinny. No worries that climbing the side of the scaffold would flip it cause I'm heavier that it is. Yes I climbed it before at 325 and It was scary.
This is my second chance to lead a normal life. I would do it a million times over. I miss food yes. But I missed being skinny more!
