2 years and counting
This past Friday I hit the big ol' 2 year mark. Reality set in a long time ago, but I am very happy with where I am today. My life has changed in a millions ways, but I would gladly do it all over again. It is all so worth it to have my life back. Now that summer appears to officially be upon us, I am going to be one busy person. I get to enjoy chasing the kids out in the sun. There are some things that I have learned in the last two years though.
-I can do anything and everything. I am free. I am not bound by weight or anything else unless I chose to be.
-This is a forever change that takes almost forever to get used to. Just because I can't eat as much as others, or the same things as others, it doesn't mean that I can't eat. Or still enjoy eating. I do. Every day. Now I just make better choices. And I have learned that even the food that contains the more protein than anything that tastes good should, I can prepare things correctly to suit my touchy palate.
-I am a priority. After years of hiding and blending in, I finally am noticed. Sometimes in ways or at times that I would prefer not to be, but I am noticed. And that's good in the long run. I need to remind myself now that there are almost as many people that I work with and deal with every day that have never seen me at any other weight as there are those that have seen me fat. I'm only starting to realize that sometimes those are the best people in the world.
Sorry for the rambling, but I figured I should now while I have my typing fingers on.
