"How Sweet It Is!"
In the immortal words of Jackie Gleason, "How sweet it is!"
These are some of the things I've noticed since I've lost some weight.
Going into a doctor's office and not having the Medical Assistant sizing you up to see if you need an extra-large gown. How sweet it is to put on a regular-size gown, and still be able to tie it! How sweet it is to be able to tell your weight with pride, and without saying "mumble mumble mumble"!
Going into a restaurant, and noticing the tables are so close together -automatically what would run through my head is -oh, dear - will I be able to walk through the chairs without having my derriere bump into someone's head or shoulders - after my meal, will I be able to get up without clearing off the table next to me with my derriere? How sweet it is that I don't have to think about this any more!
How sweet it is, going into a diner, knowing I can fit in a booth!
How sweet it is, being on a train or a bus and finding a seat without having to size it up to see if I can fit in it without spilling over into the next seat, or expelling someone from their seat when I stand up LOL!
How sweet it is, being able to get into a kayak, knowing that you can get out of it without having to pry it off LOL!
How sweet it is, in a crowd, to be able to say excuse me, and not having to knock people over to get through!
How sweet it is, knowing that on my next airplane ride, I can put on my seat belt without having to ask the attendant for a seat belt extension!
How sweet it is to be able to wear heels again after loosing weight in my feet!
How sweet it is to be able to cross my legs again!
How sweet it is to be able to look at myself in the mirror at home without having to cover all the mirrors with a black veil.
How sweet it is, not having to take a
bunch of medications daily, like I was 80 years old!
How sweet it is to get complemented on my appearance again!
How sweet it is knowing I have only 25 more pound to go to reach my goal weight!
How sweet it is knowing I have this wonderful tool, the LAP-BAND®®, that has helped me to change my life! So if anyone out there is not sure if the LAP-BAND®® is not for them, or considering the LAP-BAND®®, keep reading the wonderful stories on this site and gain a wonderful support system, and possibly a new friend.
This was the best choice for me to make in my life - HOW SWEET IT IS!
