itzme752 24 Posted December 9, 2012 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! 6 sky, mizzlaw, Cheryl Barfoot and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vicki Loichinger 444 Posted December 10, 2012 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
