dms724 26 Posted June 8, 2015 I've had two very impactful moments this week that I thought I would share! Last weekend, I was carrying a very large and very heavy bag of potting soil from the car when I wondered just how heavy it was. I heaved it on the ground and noticed it was 25 lbs. I am nearly 5 months out and down 48 pounds. Realizing that this bag weighed half of my weight loss, I was compelled to pick it up again and walk a few more feet. Wow, was that a powerful moment! I could not imagine carrying two of these bags around all day, every day! But I did. Amazing. Then, yesterday, I was at the pet store and picked up a 42 lb bag of cat litter. Yet another super powerful moment. No wonder I felt so tired and everything was so hard pre-op. It's a great reminder for me when I feel I should have lost more by now or that 48 lbs isn't enough. Next time I am feeling that way, I will pick up a bag of cat litter or potting soil! ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanyonBaby 1,852 Posted June 8, 2015 @@dms724 Soon enough it will be more than one bag, depending on what your goal is....I felt the same way trying to go up the basement stairs with a bag of "used" cat litter....how on earth did I do it? And I'm closer to three than two bags!!!! Joy to the world, indeed!!!!! Congrats! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fluffypal 13 Posted June 9, 2015 I can't wait to have that feeling. I have bad knees, so I'm looking forward to a lot less pain as I lose weight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
