I carry most of my weight in my stomach and I'm now down 45 pounds from surgery (55 since start of the surgical process). Much of the loss has been in my stomach.

Just now I got out my school book to do my assigned reading, sat down and crossed my legs (!!!) and placed the book on my lap to start reading.

I couldn't focus on reading because something felt weird. I finally realized it was because I had my book in my lap and not propped up on my gut or teetering on the edge of my knee.

I've been crossing my legs so much when I sit that it's making my hips sore...but I'm just so excited to be able to do it that I can't stop!

I'm so fascinated by this progress that I needed to share with folks who could understand! Most everyone in my life is a normal weight or overweight, but have not experienced obesity.

Amazing ❤

That's exciting, isn't it? A great non-scale victory! Congrats! ?

Wooohooo! Very cool!
