NewBeginnings 2 Posted July 1, 2011 Today at work I got on a ladder. I know some of you are sitting there thinking what is the big deal with that. Well working in retail most times this is a requirement and I steered clear of anything that took my 288 pound body off the stable ground. Today I was putting up a shelf and without thinking I just went and got on a ladder. Not until I was up there did I realize what I had done. I just want to say I know we all have surgery to lose weight. After having surgery I am finding more things than I am losing, lol. I am finding that I can do a lot more things than I thought I could. The little things that I am accomplishing are way more exciting than the weight I am losing. This surgery is helping me find out who I really am and what I like to do. I just recall going I dont like this or that, or I dont want to go there or be here. The truth is I was fat and thought I couldnt do things. I chose the name new begginnings because that is exactly what this surgery is for me. I cant wait to see what will happen next. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rootman 1,101 Posted July 1, 2011 Congrats! Every NSV is GREAT and means a lot! Yeah, I always had a nervous chuckle when I read the warning on most ladder, typically 250 to 275 pounds max load and I tipped the scale at 375. A few groaned and creaked and scared the hell out of me too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NewBeginnings 2 Posted July 1, 2011 Thanks everyone. I figured I had to share something positive for all the people struggling. All you hear is it here better. Well I figured I should tell how. By the way super mom I haven't been in a normal size tub in years. The thought actually scares me. It's either the shower or a jacuzzi size tub. A regular tub might he my next victory lol.
