3 month aniversary

Can you believe it !!!! It seems like I waited so long for this to happen and then BAM it is 3 months later. I am now officially off all food restrictions with the exception of sugar and carbonated beverages. Those are something I am NEVER supposed to have again.. and I am gonna make sure that I don't. Honestly though I don't think that they will bother me but I don't want to find out because I know if I do find out that I can tolerate it I will just be opening the door to sabotaging myself and I don't want that to happen, so I am just gonna keep on assuming that I will get sick if I eat or drink any of it.

Anyways here is a list of some of the major changes that have effected me since my surgery.

1) I have now kicked the fast food and Diet Coke habit.. I have not had either in 3 month & 2 weeks.!!
2) My feet/knees no longer pain me, I can actually walk, run, have fun and work for much longer periods of time without having to deal with the major pain.
3) I am feeling better about myself
4) I am so starting to look forward to all the things that I will be able to do without the fear and embarrassment of being too fat.
5) I can see now see food and be near people eating food and NOT feel like I have to eat it.
6) I am now the one at the kitchen table who eats less then everyone else, Including my very petite sister-in-law Nan.
7) My smaller clothes are fitting again. Not all yet but most
8) I am wearing shorts again in public which is something I tried very hard not to do when I was at my heavier weight.
9) I can actually bend down now and tie my shoes, the bow is actually in the center rather then off to the side because of having to sit down and swing my legs up.

and the top 10 change is

10) I can wipe my butt without breaking into a sweat !!! lol..
Yup I know you really wanted to hear that... lol... but the reality is when you are fat even the daily things like shoe tying and butt wiping are a struggle. Things other people just take for granted and never even have to think about are a major issues with the morbidly obese. I just thought I would put that in for a shock factor, to make people realize that being fat effects everything right down to the smallest issues.

Now on to my good intentions.. I wrote 2 days ago that my good intention was to get my front weeds done and I have to say I sorta cheated on that. I started out on them and then I actually got my cousin to help me out with it also. He, however, did not get it finished so I will HAVE to get it done by tomorrow morning. SO it is my intention that I must finish it today along with getting at least 1/2 of my grass cut!!

How are you guys doing with your good intentions? I look forward to hearing about how you did.

Everyone have a great day !!!!
