I AM WOMAN, hear me ROAR

This morning I jumped on the big trampoline with my kids .I felt like a big kid myself. All giddy and hyper.....I remember, this time last year, just my standing in the middle of the trampoline made it stretch all the way down, almost touching the ground...that was at 325 lbs...Forget about even trying to jump.... Today I jumped, I jumped high, and then i laid down on the trampoline and looked up at the sky..The tips of the pine trees formed a circle high above me, and the sky was blue, just starting to fill with wispy clouds. and I was sooooo happy..It was one of those perfect moments that I wish I could somehow feeze and capture in time...And all around me was the sound of happy laughter...the children's and MINE!!! I love my life, I love the person I am able to be because of my surgery... I am no longer trapped inside my body, no longer the one stuck inside, looking out and wishing I could do things, wishing I could have an active role.... I am WOMAN , HEAR ME ROAR!!!! I am woman, see me SOAR!!!

That sounds amazing Dorota thanks so much for sharing. There are so many more of those moments to come for us its so cool. Monica

Dorota, That was a great moment. Thank you for being so descriptive, I really could picture how you felt! Wendy

Oh i am so happy for you. I have been eyeing those thinking i coudl probably not break it now. But i still may be too heavy to do anything fun. I am so happy for you. Way to go girl!

thanks for this post. i have been so depressed lately because of my weight loss stall... that i lost track of how far i have come... i just want more more more in terms of loss. i have gained so many good things like going roller skating and swimming and playing with the kids... my quality of life has improved sooooo much. thanks for reminding me to be grateful for that. thanks you.
