Diary of a Mad Fat Woman

It’s funny how you never really notice how uncomfortable life is in a extra large package until you down grade to a smaller one.  I always knew I was overweight but I never realized how much it affected my everyday life.  There were so many things I couldn’t do and I never made the connection that it was my weight hindering me.  Since dropping 55 pounds in the past 10 months the little things I never noticed have become huge milestones.  I never knew I could……………..

wear high heels for longer than 15 minutes (actually, I can dance in them all night)

really cross my legs (as oppose to the leg prop I use to do)

get all of my groceries out the car in less than 2 trips (it’s nice to have functional  strength)

look 10 years younger in only 10 months (no botox, no knife)

go up a flight of stairs without my heart racing

complete my own breast reduction (no surgery)

mop and sweep the floor minus the lower back pains

maintain good posture without even thinking about it

see and touch my toes

or tuck my shirt in…..just to name a few. 

This is truly an amazing journey for me. Everyday I am shocked a the differences good food and exercise can make.  I am so please that I finally made the choice to become a better me.  I look forward to discovering even more things I never knew I could do. I would love to hear about the things you never knew you could do. Until next time, thanks for sharing!
