I feel sooooo good



Recommended Posts

Here are some things I am feeling soooooo good about- what about you?

1. Not knowing how to react to being hit on (that this is actually a problem for me is a totally brand new thing!)

2. That I bought skinny jeans in a size 16 (I can actually be fashionable now, and look all hipsterish and cute!)

3. That the boots I bought 2 years ago actually zip up on my legs now!

4. That last summer when I went to Torrid, even the size 4's didn't fit. I just bought a shirt in a size 1!!!

5. I feel so damn good! I even bought make-up and thought I would never wear make-up and that it was stupid. I showed me! (ha!)

6. I really want to keep going! I am over the hump and happy, happy, happy.

7. 2009 is going to rock!

what are you feeling GOOD about these days???

Congratulations, froggy. Weight loss is wonderful, isn't it? I remember how excited I felt when I could fit into size 16s without the W! Over the years as I got fatter and fatter I had to give away clothes that I loved; now I am doing the same thing all over again but in reverse. My last big NSV was discovering that I can wear belts! Another thing to shop for. Oh goody!

Yay for you. Those are awesome NSV's.

Those huge sudden realisations of how much better I look, or how I can suddenly fit into something are well behind me now. But like a relationship, as fun as the initial excitement is, the long term stuff gets even better.

I enjoy the simple satisfication of having a body I treat right. I love what it can do. i love not feeling desperate self loathing every time I look at myself.

I absolutely love that without realising it, my new years resolutions focussed on athletic achievement - 2009 is my year to complete several half marathons - and had NOTHING to do with changing myself in any way.

I love simply being able to buy what I need to wear, buy it where I want to buy it and not pay stupid prices becuase its plus sized.

I love that becuase i hit goal a while ago now, I'm used to it, people are used to it, my body and my problems are no longer anyone's focus.

I'm "normal". Wow, whodathunkit?

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
