It is so hard to believe that it has been nearly a month since my surgery. I look at how my life has changed and how much different I feel, and it blows my mind. I caught sight of myself in the mirror the other day, and it startled me! You get so used to seeing yourself a certain way for 20 years and then you lose some weight and you feel like a new person.
One of the biggest differences that I see in myself is the way I move. Things like going for walks are a thousand times easier. Something like that felt so out of reach for me when I was nearly 60 pounds heavier. Now, I can't believe the change. My mum and I walked 1.5 miles the other night, and I didn't break a sweat or anything! Typically when I would walk before, I would be huffing and puffing before I even left the driveway. But now, I feel like I have this freedom to move that I never had before. I feel like the world is opening up in front of me! So long, being embarassed to fly! Goodbye, waddling to and fro! See ya later, giant belly! It is such a relief to be on the right track now, and to be taking these steps to get my life back. I have let my weight hold me back for too long, and now, I will NEVER allow myself to go back there again. Yay me!!
