For the first time in my life, for just a moment, I did not feel fat

[VDB 800]

Strange thing happened today. I was weeding in the garden, moving around quite a bit, and just for a minute, I felt like I was not fat. It was sort of an out of body experience, I was shocked as I realized I was bending over easily as I weeded, I was not out of breath, was not making animal like grunts as I worked, and it felt pretty wonderful.

I had 170# to lose. In 14 weeks, halfway there, still formally fat, but I loved that sensation. Any of you have that experience?

That's wonderful! Congratulations! Yes, I do remember sitting in a meeting at work and realized that I had my legs crossed! I hadn't done that in years and didn't even realize I had done it!

That is a great example of an NSV! Congratulations!

Now can you come weed my garden? LOL!

@ Bravo, John! I'm beginning to realize what a truly profound thing we are doing and rejoice with you. You're doing GREAT and it will only get better with each passing pound!

I've had the similar experience of bending over and realizing that something about it seemed easier, more natural.

Keep up the great work!
