A totally different feel

Went shopping at Kohl's today, and walked by the ladies dept, knowing that some day I will be able to shop there. As I was walking through the store a thought hit me. I realized that when I walk now, I feel different. Part of it, I'm sure, is less weight, so it's easier to do so. But it was also a feeling that I am holding my head up higher. It was a good feeling. mgm BTW - I've seen may posting lately about why the board is so slow - one reason is that more of us are no longer just sitting around, but moving and walking and exercising - something we never fit into our schedules before. I think that's a good thing.

I think you are right on both accounts. I do walk prouder now. My loss is beginning to show some, and I can imagine a little what it will be like to be able to fit into sizes I may be wearing by next winter! And, as we resume more and more of our "new normally active" lives, we will naturally spend less time here. I know that I would be better off exercising more and posting less! And I know that when I start to work a week from now, I will cut back to once a day checking and posting. But I'll still be here--just may take me a bit longer to respond! I think it will be a good sign when I have my mind more on daily living than on WLS, the means to that end. But I'm not there yet. Joy -32 lbs

Glad that it is going well for you. A new thing for me is being able to change rings --I've been wearing the same one for several months as it was the only one that fit and just barely. Louise -23
