bonbon85 8 Posted December 18, 2010 I am finally starting to feel and notice the differences in myself since my surgery. I was sleeve back in august starting at 383 lbs and I weighed my spec after I got home from work tonight and I'm at 311. I really can't remember the last time I weighed that much. I do remember being in the 6 th grade and being 277, although I just remember felling trapped. I don't know it's the little stuff like sitting in group with my clients and being able to cross my legs or this my sound strange but when I was playing DDR tonight I realized that I can clap my hands behind my back. It's really the little stuff that makes me realize that I made the choice that was right for me. I mean I'm still single and I still notice that my self esteem is getting better. I just hope that my sharing this with others will help them realize that is is not just looking at the scale going down that matters but the effect it has on your frame of mind. 1 lostalongtheway reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Billy363627 15 Posted December 18, 2010 Your absolutely right bon bon. When little things happen it is a wonderful thing to our self esteem. I feel like if our self esteem was ever damaged by people it is reclaimed in every little sucess we have at losing weight. When we give or for that much get comments on our sucesses it is a awesome feeling and makes us want to continue with the fight we are here for. good luck your doing awesome..
