Strange thing happened today. I was weeding in the garden, moving around quite a bit, and just for a minute, I felt like I was not fat. It was sort of an out of body experience, I was shocked as I realized I was bending over easily as I weeded, I was not out of breath, was not making animal like grunts as I worked, and it felt pretty wonderful.

I had 170# to lose. In 14 weeks, halfway there, still formally fat, but I loved that sensation. Any of you have that experience?

@ Thats awesome! Congrats!!

@ Way to go!! That feeling must have put a big smile on your face

That's wonderful! Congratulations! Yes, I do remember sitting in a meeting at work and realized that I had my legs crossed! I hadn't done that in years and didn't even realize I had done it!

That is a great example of an NSV! Congratulations!

Now can you come weed my garden? LOL!

@ Bravo, John! I'm beginning to realize what a truly profound thing we are doing and rejoice with you. You're doing GREAT and it will only get better with each passing pound!

I sort of had a similar experience today with clothes shopping with my sister, we were in the Lucky store, now keep in mind I haven't shopped in a "regular" store in years...I saw a shirt, loved it, tried on the XXL waaay to big, the XL, still too big...the large..perfect fit...

a large shirt in a regular store?? stick a fork in me I am DONE lol

day over!

~drops the mike~

oh my bad CONGRATS TO YOU!! YOU ARE DOING GREAT

This post wins the day.

I've had the similar experience of bending over and realizing that something about it seemed easier, more natural.

Keep up the great work!
