This is Unbelievable

So, surgery was October 9^th, its hard to believe that just 2 short months ago I weighed 343.4 pounds, not the biggest I have ever been but pretty close. I look at that weight and think to myself WOW, what is God’s name was I doing. What in God’s name was I thinking. How was I living at 343 pounds, how didn’t my legs collapse under the weight, how did I manage to get down on one knee time and time again as I flung my 15 pound bowling ball. Time and time again. I can’t help but wonder how my body managed to keep up without having the sever amount of pain that should come from living with that kinda weight.

Now, I’m down to 280.6. 280.6!!!!!! I can’t tell you how amazing this feels, I’m back bowling and I cannot tell you how much better my legs feel during my approach how much easier it is to keep my balance at the foul line. How much easier it is to get up out of my shot and that is just my bowling. None of my cloths fit anymore. NONE of them, I swear that my sneakers and work shoes feel looser. OMG I bent over and tied my shoes under my knee. Meaning for the first time in years I didn’t have to lay my foot on the side to tie my shoe. What a great feeling to have.

Yesterday at bowling I had this white tee shirt on, and a fellow bowler had to do a double take at me as I was walking up to him, his face was priceless, he walks up to me and says holy shyt, where is the heck is the other half? My first response was right there as I pointed at my girl but then I realized that he was talking about the weight I lost. I can’t explain the happiness that bought to my life. To hear people I bowl with talking about how great I look as I walk past them is amazing.

I can’t wait to go shopping, super excited right now. And the great part is there is at least another 60 pounds to come off. I’m already looking forward to it.
