I did not realized i was living my life in bondage. My body was/is my cage. My fat is a leash. Once i started losing my little walks are like freedom. My body screams get up move dance it craves it my mind say no remember walking hurts dancing causes pain. I fight my sub conscious everyday and each time its a sweet surprise I can move i can walk. I never knew how much i missed it. Mentally i wait for the pain and i approch each movement timidly. But the pain never comes so i do more but my leash hold me back still i realize im not ready my journey is still not complete but i reached a new level. So tomorrow i will fight to walk again enjoy the surprise of no pain again and walk a few steps futher. My body is my canvas it is no longer my cage my fat is my clay each movement shaping and twisting it to chisel a better me. My movement is my freedom.

I played a game of football catch with my son today we even had a jogging contest. He knows my goal is to play a real game of basketball with him and his father.

I am in the same boat. I went jogging today for the first time ever. I've still got a long ways to go but it is a surprise that we feel the difference and how far we've actually come! Keep dancing

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
