10 things each week. 10 weeks.
= 100 ways my life has changed going from obese to healthy.
100 ways Wednesday was started by SignGurl. (http://www.signgurl.blogspot.com/)
She asked others to join along. So I did...
Here is my next week list...
31. I do take vitamins now, EVERY DAY… something I’ve never done.
32. When I get into my husband’s high truck I can get in the truck without a step stool and without pulling my self up into the truck. I just step in. It’s so different and much easier. Every time I step up there without pain or a step stool I freak out. Things like this feel amazing to me!
33. People tell me I look happier and I do feel happier.
34. A girl at the store said “hi skinny” to ME. Made me feel good. ?Was she really talking to me?
35. I am now enjoying finding new healthy food choices for myself and family. Yucky foods make me feel yucky now.
36. Now rather than just pick it up- I now I cook it up.
37. Losing the weight has taken the sadness out of my life.
38. I am going to try Yoga or Pilates here really soon when my physical therapist is done working me out of a knot. I'm not so afraid to try new things anymore.
39. I want to park at the back of the parking lot at a store now. It’s just not so someone won’t ding my car anymore. I want to! I don’t drive the parking lot waiting for a close parking spot, we just park in the back.
40. I am getting back into shape. Physically and mentally! I'm learning to be nice to myself more each day. It's not perfect and is taking me time to learn to forgive myself and except today and let go of yesterday. But I don't want to ever forget how it was to be obese and learn from it for my future. And being obese for many years my muscles and body were out of shape and a froze hip. I’m doing physical therapy right now for a hip that has causes me lots of pain for many years. I had ate the pain long enough through pills and compensating with my limits that it has now caused my hip muscles to freeze from not using them anymore than I had too. My point is - losing this weight has given me the strength to put "all of me" back together. It's time for me sometimes too.
I'm thinking a couple of those are alike or I'm repeating myself but that's because it is that big of deal to me.
Feels good to be able to move and wanting to move is even better.

I just mentioned to Mr. Sign yesterday about how strange it is to want to cook instead of picking something up. I hate the thought of eating food that I'm not in control of how it's cooked. Weird! I hate to admit that the last 6 months before I had surgery, we were eating take out food 5 nights a week. No wonder I gained 20 pounds!
You are such a beauty! Your smile is infectious!
