What were some unexpected benefits of losing weight?
VSG on 08/17/16
I'm sure mine will be repeats of things other people have posted, but here we go:
- My auto-immune went into remission (I knew it was possible, but I wasn't counting on it)
- Flying became fun again
- I could do the airport fast-walk 15 gates and back without being winded because hubby dropped me at my departing gate instead of where TSA is.
- I had energy to go walk the beach after class when I was in CA for training
- I don't have to travel with a CPAP anymore
- I can do my own pedicures (though I still like having someone else do it! LOL)
- I can keep up with my fast-walking boss including carrying on a conversation
- I'm not winded walking from my parking assignment to my desk at my new job (3 buildings over)
- Clothing shopping is fun again
- Thrift and resale shops actually have stuff in my size now
- I still pull pants out of the closet in my current size and think there's no way they'll fit, and get a little thrill when they do
- cute workout clothes in my size
- my feet don't hurt after a day in heels - OK they do hurt a little, but nothing like the awful pain I used to get
- people see me for the first time in a couple of years, and they don't recognize me.
It's literally like having a new life.
