Here's what I'm doing with my weight loss.

I've had lots of comments about my last post and the weight loss that has occurred for me. This is the reply that I want to tell you all, so I thought I would just make a new post to address it. I am posting this so that others will be inspired as so many here have inspired me.

Yes, I have lost a lot of weight in a small amount of time. The weight loss surgery has saved my life, but it's what I have decided to do with it, that has caused so much success with me.

The weight loss has spurred on so many things for me. I am working out and feeling strong. I am drinking tons of water and its hydrating me and keeping my skin soft. I am sleeping better. I am taking care of myself like I have never done before. I am embracing my feminine side with trips to the spa and a great skin line. I am rocking my wardrobe and wearing a style I have been longing to get back to for the past 20 years.

Most importantly though I am really happy and I haven't felt this way in decades. I spending quality time with my husband. I am also feeling a renewed sense of confidence and have decided to put together a new band and do some gigs. I am a musician and haven't done this for awhile. I am also spending time in the pottery studio and working on some pots. Just being creative all around.

So it's more than the weight loss for me. It's what I've been doing with it.

Happy success to you all!

Well said Barb.

YAY Barb! I'm a musician too. I play in an orchestra where I can hide behind the strings and beside the French horns which hides not only my mistakes, but it hides me. I love playing with others, but a realize I'm too ashamed of my size to come out and do solo or ensemble work.

But I am really excited to be getting wls, knowing a year from now they'll have to push me off the stage . I've put together an ensemble and am planning a series of house concerts for May 2019 - it will take that long to do arrangements for the 12 pieces we'll be playing and to learn and properly rehearse.

im just assuming I'll be stage-worthy by then and I'm putting all my excitement in that direction.

im looking forward to no longer being the only fat person in the room, or orchestra, and assuming just about anything's possible.
