What a change in my life

The majority of my life I've been overweight. I have dieted, lost some, gain alot. For the first time in my life I feel good about myself. I can look in the mirror as I pass by stores and not go home depressed(you know you think you're looking good then you pass a mirror and it can ruin your whole day). I can be a part of a group and not feel like I have to be invisible. People can look at me and I don't feel like they are picking a me because I'm so fat. I don't have to be the center of jokes or made example of(I don't want to get fat like so and so). I can run with my daughter, fit in seats and cross my legs. have men look back at me and women compliment me(and some do envy but who cares I'm loving it. I can feel like this is one problem that is behind me( I missed out on so much for so many years.) And I can finally, finally go in regular size stores and order regular size clothes. I saw an old clothes tags of mind just yesterday that read 26/28 now it reads 11/12 Boy what a feeling. To all you pre-ops go for it, you deserve to feel this way too. Some people can except themselve being so heavy, I never could.How many time did I cry myself to sleep because I was so alone(countless) Not to mention how much energy I have and no more backache,headache,knee ache and just being plain tired(physically and mentally.. I only wish this could have been sooner, but better late than never. Just wanted to tell you guys this, Thanks for listening and God Bless. I really would like to know what about this surgery changed your life? one year post 310 now 180 goal 150
