In the last 100 or so days, I have officially lost 100lbs!! That in and of itself is an accomplishment to be VERY proud of, but I have also learned SO much about life in those 100 days that I don't really understand why my brain and my heart didn't get together sooner to convince me to have this surgery! I believe everything happens for a reason. Everythings has a certain sequence of events that will lead you to a final destination, think of it as steps that take to you who you are ultimately going to become. Steps you have to take to fulfill your destiny! Apparently, my destiny is to be a healthier person, who is proud of the things that she can now do... Here are a few things I am proud to say have been accomplished in the last 100 days:
- I now have a lap. Never have had one before, and boy are they handy!
- I can cross my legs! (this is the best thing ever!!)
- I can get up off the floor without thinking I'm going to need an army to get me up.
- I have more energy than I ever thought possible.. most days.
- I can exercize! (is that really an accomplishment?)
- I wear smaller size clothes! I love that people are giving me clothes to wear and I can fit into them.
- I can wear cute shoes all day without my feet swelling.
- I can shop all day without my back giving me problems. (I actually bought my first ever shirt at the GAP!)
- I look better in a bathing suit!! (ok, who really thinks they look GOOD anyway??)
- I can sit in a normal size chair...
- and on that note.. I fit into a seat in Tiger's Stadium!
- I was able to get off my medication for my Insulin Resistance, which by the way has been resolved all due to the surgery.
- My hubby can hug me more comfortably and does hug me more.
- I am an inspiration to others... and at this I am deeply humbled.
My favorite quote came from my nephew, Landon. When he saw my picture the other day Landon said, "She's so skinny and she looks like SuperWoman." Landon, I feel like SuperWoman too!!
Love you all.
