It's the simple things...

I just have to say that it's the simple things that I enjoy the most about the weight loss. I was clipping my toenails this morning and I was able to put my foot on the side of the tub, bendover and clip them with out having to manually move the gut over to reach the toes. These are the things I notice the most. Leslie P

oh i agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are so right Leslie!! Those are the things that we need to remember when we get discouraged by the "bumpy spots" in this road to recovery. I don't know about you, but I tend to forget how nice all of these simple things are when I have a bad day. Just being able to do some of these "normal things" is such a gift!! Your post reminded me how much easier a simple task like taking a shower is without all of that extra baggage hanging on my body. Thanks for the reminder... it helps things in focus!! Mike

Just being able to move at all, to get our of bed in the morning without dread because of the pain...that's a miracle to me. Thanks, Leslie. Maureen

hear hear!!!! Way to go. I agree with you about the little things...Like being able to cross my legs and they stay crossed! Like being able to go to the movie and sit in the seat and have extra room! Like being able to go buy pantyhose in the regular size and not the BIG MAMA size! Like being able to bend over and tie my tennis shoes without getting light headed! I could go on and on......Being a loser is soooooooooooooo much fun! The picture of me here is the before picture when I weighed 252 pounds. I now weigh 148 pounds. I have a updated picture coming soon! Best of luck to you in the future months to come!

It is the simple things that are so great. I do enjoy crossing my legs and the other my husband was driving and my toe nail hung on my sock and I took off my shoe and cut my toe nail in the car !! I said "Lord" 9 months ago it was all I could do to get twisted around in the house to cut them! Today I was at a manager's meeting , and after the meeting we stood around in the yard for 15 or 20 minutes talking . I just now realized for years it was all I could do to walk in the building and sat down , let alone stand up and talk for 15 minutes. Life is good now !! Have a good day . Judy
