Can't Put a Price on That!

The biggest pleaaure of losing weight for me isn't even the weight loss.  It's that the weight loss helped me find myself.  Can't put a price on that.

I still have plenty more weight to lose but I have gained so much confidence, strength (physical and emotional) and belief in myself.  Can't put a price on that.

I can stand in front of a group of strangers and hold my own.  I know they are listening to what I say instead of looking at how fat I am.  Can't put a price on that.

I can breathe calmly and speak softly instea of losing my head when I'm mad.  Can't put a price on that.

I can recognize when someone is treating me badly and I can speak up about it.  Can't put a price on that.

I can look in the mirror and smile. Can't put a price on that.

I can move on when things don't go my way, instead of wallowing in self-pity or stuffing my feelings with food (well most of the time anyway LOL).  Can't put a price on that.

I can recognize when I've done something well, and can take a compliment that's well deserved.  Can't put a price on that either.

This WLS journey has made life so much fuller. And you definitely can't put a price on that.

So, besides the weight loss itself, what have you found priceless?

Fabulously put Janet!!!  That's absolutely wonderful!

Also I would add:

I can run, play, do silly dances, make a fort and get under there with my four year old... can't put a price on that.

My daughter will never be embarrassed that HER Mom can't join in, or do things that other Mom's can.  Can't put a price on that.

 Oh I like that.  But she may still get embarrassed when you do things like sing in the car--at least mine did! lol

This is fabulous.  I see myself getting some of those characteristics even though I'm still early in the journey.  I must admit that my current boss at work is also encouraging all these aspects as well. He is the best boss I've ever had  - and I've had over 20.
Take care

 Eliza,
That's wonderful.  And I know how amazing it is to have a wonderful boss.  I had my share of poor, rude, selfish, inefficient, even evil bosses.  But before i retired I got to work with one of the most amazing principals ever. What a treat!
