Well, folks, I stepped way WAY out of my comfort zone and treated my body to a massage yesterday. Wow! What a wonderful experience. Poor body image and embarrassment fused with shame had stopped me before surgery. Although I'm only down 30-some pounds, I decided to break with old patterns and give it a try. It was rejuvenating and relaxing. Everything I hoped.

I've already booked my next on for mid-September.

Sounds like heavan !!!!

Sounds great u deserve it!

@Engteache

ONLY

Kathy - you caught me. Well done! What I should have said is that I'm a rookie on this path to weight loss and I celebrated my most recent success by getting my first ever massage.

Thanks for the post. It made me laugh and remember never to use 'only' when talking weight loss success. Bless you!

That's right I will have to remember that my surgery is August 18Th I am excited

never to use 'only' when talking weight loss success.
