First NSV's !

I am 12 weeks out from an RNY and down 62 lbs.  I have never lost that much on my own and that is mind blowing on its own.  My Nsv's are so cool to me. First I had to clean out all my clothes that don't fit now and I literally have half the clothes I used to have.  Second...I gave myself a FULL pedicure...omg the awakening of paying for this all these years. and third I realized I not only feel like a human being again but starting to feel like a woman again!

I feel better ad better every day.  Eating is getting better.  I just take it slow and steady no worries.  Just doing what I know I need to do...taking all my vitamins and supplements...eating properly...no real cheats and no real temptations. I am lazy about exercise but am making it a new goal!  There is always more to do.  Not being 337 lbs   and seeing the scale move down is amazing.

Safe and wonderful journey to you all.

Non scale victory

Thank you! 

That's wonderful, Kim!  Sounds like you're doing great.  I remember that feeling you described... one day I just woke up and felt like a  "normal" person for the first time in years.  It was awesome!  Keep up the good work.  

Kim,

Thank you for the post. I am so proud of you. Only 12 weeks and you have lost so much already. I totally agree with you. I just was telling my husband yesterday that this is the first time in my life that I have lost weight so fast. When you're up to it you can exercise also. It makes such a big difference. Keep us posted on your journey.

Thanks Robin....it is sometimes overwhelming to look back on these past few months and see the changes I wanted to start happening and prayed for for so many years.  It's so much more than weight loss to me as a woman.  I am gaining my confidence and femininity back.  As an obese person I became or tried to become invisible because of the shame and guilt.  There were silly everyday things...a hundred times a day that I would berate myself over because I was fat.  Just getting up in the morning and the difficulty with caring for myself...clothing...being in public and the way I moved. I hated it all. I lost myself in the weight...mist really very wonderful to laugh and love knees and elbows....to take pleasure in liking a thirty ....of feeling proud of eating healthy... and a hundred more things than self hate.....best decision ever!
