Putting it into perspective

[itzme752 24]

Last night my husband and I were in a sporting goods store and walked by the weights. I have lost 60 pounds since surgery and asked him to pick up the 60 pound weight and put it in my arms (there was no way I could lift it myself lol). Anyway, when he gave it to me I almost fell on the ground cause it was so heavy. It's hard to really see how much weight you have lost until you do something like that. I can't believe that my body had to carry around all that weight just a few months ago!

I encourage everyone to do that at some point to really put into perspective how much we have lost even if you can't see it so much! It put a smile on my face and I'm sure it will for everyone else too!

I alway look at a pound of butter. We all have said "I've only lost a pound". Look at that pound of butter. Pure fat! EW. Be happy it's gone.

great visualization sometimes it is hard to grasp what is going on with our bodies or how much this weight really represents. Thanks for sharing
