Five ways my life has changed - please share yours!

Hi Mary! You are another inspiring person! I am so into walking and I feel that my next thing should be running, but believe it or not, it is something that I am leery of doing because of having had bad knees for so long.  But I have this feeling of wanting to fly and since I can't actually fly, lol, running is a close second. I am just about at goal so I am starting to work on maintenance and dealing with that "fix".  I have been doing a lot of reading to re-train my brain that I don't "need" food other than to live.  I want to break that thought process and it's hard but I feel (for me) it is the key to long term success and I will do my darndest to never ever go back to the weight I was.  All the best and congrats for all your accomplishments! Sue

Hi Sue.  1. Significantly less pain in knee, feet and lower back. 2. Sleep much better. 3. Go out in public places far more often. 4. Elevated energy. 5. Closer to my husband (& the Pupster- ) more than ever because I see how much he is supporting the lifestyle that has to go along with WLS. Beneficial to us all. Thanks Sue for a good post idea.
