Hello BAF Family,

For some of us this is the only place we can openly express our accomplishments without folks saying............stop bragging. So at least once a week I'm going to start a thread for us to " Brag on it". Also, I noticed that some folks only come back to the board to brag so I just thought it'll be nice to do something for the regulars.....:)

BAF ~ BRAG ON IT!!!!

This week for me..........My job had a ton of layoffs and as a result of that........ we are moving into another building with our sister-company. Today before I left work.......... I'm packing my stuff for the movers and noticed a ton of paper and stuff way under my desk.......I politely got on my knees and got it up! Now, honestly back in the day..........I would've never done that so....................that's all for me. On my ride home, I was so proud...........might be small to some but big to me. I am grateful for WLS!

What can you do now that you couldn't do before WLS?

When nothing else could help................LOVE lifted me!!!!

Run two half marathons. And currently training for a full marathon next year.
Before WLS, I would not have been able to run to the end of the block let alone over 13 miles. Thank God for WLS. Hands down, it was the best decision I have ever made.

I had a mini wow this week when another OHer posted some pics from the NY OH event.

There was an average size woman to her right, but the face was not visible. I realized it was me from the top I had on. I looked far smaller in the photo than I look in the mirror. At last I believe I no longer look obese.

I can look at myself and not see a fat woman!

Wow M.S.W that's deep...........you recognized yourself from a shirt? It's so weird how we don't recognize ourselves sometimes but I'm liberating for you to think that you no longer look obese.

I really pushed myself in the gym this week. Even with sore muscles, I get up each mornng at 5 am and do what I've got to do. Pre-WLS, I would be sleeping in and eating badly.
