The Big Change

When you see people a lot it's harder to tell how much weight they are losing. I had my surgery on December 3rd and I attend church weekly and have meetings several times a week there as well. My loss (now about 80lbs) is noticable but people have been able to see it gradually leave over several weeks.

 

Living in New England we have a lot of Snow Birds. Those are the retirees that leave and spend the winter in Florida or someplace much warmer than Rhode Island in winter... especially this winter. One of those snow birds came back to RI today and saw me for the first time since before my surgery. I was so happy to see her that I hugged her and she couldn't say anything. Her mouth was just gaping open and she kept staring at me. She was stunned to say the least.

 

I have to say it felt nice to get that reaction. I haven't been too focused on how I look just how I feel but it was nice.

Rhodywoman, first let me congratulate you on your success. It is really nice having people notice and comment on my smaller size. I would like to ask you a question? Does your head still have you being a heavy person but when you look in the mirror you know that you are not? Found this out when I went to buy some clothes and just naturally generated to the larger size section when my daughter said to me, YOU no longer need to shop over there, these sizes fit you now! YAHOO Just had my 60th birthday and I am in the best shape I have been in over 30 years. Keep up the good work! Wanted to write to you, as I am orginally from New England grew up in New Hampshire but now live in Upstate New York. Continued success to you.
