The difference in 10 months...

Anytime I get frustrated with my slowing weight loss (which is on a daily basis nowadays), I try to think of the changes in my life in the past 10 months since my RNY surgery.

• No more high blood pressure
• No more sleep apnea
• Normal cholesterol
• Went from Super Morbidly Obese to Morbidly Obese to Obese - just 6 lbs from being "overweight"
• Went from size 28 or 30 jeans to size 14.. and if all my weight weren't in my ass and thighs, I'd be a 12.
• Went from a 4x top to size L
• I can ride comfortably in an airplane seat
• I can ride any rollercoaster I want
• Chairs with arms don't stay attached to my ass when I stand up anymore
• All booths are comfy
• I can cross my legs
• I get attention from the opposite sex
• People see me as an inspiration (yeah, I don't get it either!)
• I'm not the biggest girl everywhere I go anymore
• I'm more assertive... I don't hide behind my weight anymore
• I am comfortable doing any number of activities that my size would have hindered before.
• I have energy now
• I am learning more about nutrition and health than I ever thought I could know

Yes, I have a ways to go to reach my "ideal" weight. But, my journey is far from over. This is just the beginning!

Xoxo to all!
