Good Monday morning!
I made a new self-discovery this weekend. I realized that, for the first time in YEARS, I actually care about how I look as I go to work each day. Before I started this journey, I'd haul myself out of bed (quite a chore in itself), shower, and put on whatever was most comfortable, that quasi-matched, and was respectable enough for the office. I had 3 pairs of stretchy pants and a few tops. Nobody cared, least of all me.
Now, 77 lbs later, I find myself actually planning outfits and switching my clothes around a dozen times to achieve a "look". I've never been that person before! My hubs works second shift, so I put my clothes in the bathroom the night before (to avoid dressing in the dark) and it has become a rather complex routine. I'm not sure I have the morning prep time to be thin! LOL
Seriously, I have to admit to my friends that I'm really loving being me lately. For the first time in as long as I can remember, I feel like a "normal" person. I know that's silly, but the ability to do "regular things" like walk upstairs, bend over at the waist and pick something up, use a non-handicap stall in the ladies room, sit anywhere without checking the seat width first, etc... all these things that I was not able to do, made me feel disabled, in a way. And I guess, in a way, I was. I was seriously unable to do those things due to my physical condition, so I guess that's a form of disability. It should never be admitted as such, though, because I did that to myself. And I was able to UNDO it myself (through the grace of God and good food). So it's not a true "disability", I just temporarily (for half my life) disabled myself.
I have to thank God every day now for my new shape and vitality. I actually talked to my 6-year old granddaughter yesterday about what my relationship will be to HER children. Now that's positive thinking!
Have a blessed day and do something rewarding.
