My son, my friend and I went to the fair this evening. We had a great time.

We wanted to see the hypnotist show before we left, so we got good seats right up front.

So the hypnotist gets on stage and of course is looking for volunteers. My son is begging me to go up, so I volunteered along with around 15 other people.

Now, 7 months ago I never would've wanted to go on a stage in front of hundreds of people when I weighed 333lbs. I would've been mortified at what people would've said about me, and I never would have been relaxed enough to be hypnotized.

But that was then, this is now. I now weigh 185lbs, and am so confident in myself that not only did I volunteer, I actually got hypnotized and was the star of the whole show!!

My friend was actually laughing so much that she burst a blood vessel in her eye!!

My son just loved that I did it, and that I got hypnotized.

And when the show was over and I got off the stage, I didn't even feel embarrassed...I felt good that I took such a risk.

Funny how losing weight opens up such weird and different opportunities!!

That's what the weight loss is all about. It's not a number on a scale...it's about being an active participant in life and not sitting on the sidelines while the world moves on without you. This is a wonderful NSV and it makes me so happy to enjoy it with you.

Lol...no donkey noises, but I was the one he picked that every time he turned around I would see him naked from behind. My son said I appeared to thoroughly enjoy it

I think it is fabulous to not feel self conscious about standing up in a group. Or getting in and out of seats for baseball and movies etc and getting by people. I never liked that before. Now, I just don't take up much space and I simply don't care!!! Much better feeling. Thank you WLS

What's this? You were naked and looking at him from behind? That's more way out there than braying like a donkey. You are a trouper and a half. You'll never experience stage fright again.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
