beautiful shots! glad to hear your feelin better =-)
Aww thank you
Awesome pics! I love zoos. Well, I hate that the poor animals are caged up, but I love that you get the opportunity to see so many exotic animals.
Congrats on the 4 lbs Liz!!
Yeah, the Chimp called Jeanie looked so sad. She was one of the original 'Tea Party' Chimps. Now the last one left. Shes over 50 years old and looks very old. Im happy with how most of the pics came out, i had to take most of them through bars and with at least 10x zoom (they all hid at the back of the cages lol)
Well im gonna broach something that im not sure has been said yet.
My god am i enjoying being slimmer or what?!
I walk differently, i can do so much more stuff! I get guys eyeing me up more now. I get compliments from friends all the time!
I FEEL SEXY! Heck i cant keep my husbands hands off me!
THIS IS THE LIFE MAN! I tell you im never gonna go back. Its great being fit and able to do stuff i never used to be able to.
To be able to fit on a toilet seat again. Squeeze between cars in parking lots, To be able to slip past people in the hallways. To be able to wrap the towel around myself WITHOUT EXPOSING MYSELF!
Not having to worry that im gonna break my daughters bike if i get on it ... or chairs for that matter (always had to watch those plastic outdoor chairs or any wobbly ones lol)
I can fit in the car and have tons of room to spare .. my belly doesnt hit the steering wheel!
I can now fit through turnstiles at various places. I can sit on public loos without half my ass up the wall and the other half on those stupid tampon bin things. I can share the couch with my kids and husband rather than taking up 1.5 seats.
I can climb under desks to fix computers and not worry about how bad my ass looks. I can climb stairs or walk hills without being left heavy breathing, in fact i can even run them!
I can go to meetings with friends who just dont recognize me anymore (no, they literally walked right past and had to look at me strangely before they clicked!)
I can curl up on a sofa again ... sideways with my knees up on it too!
Funnily enough, though that stuff is important, whats more meaningful to me is my kids. My oldest son(14) respects me now. He gives me less crap and i can see admiration in his eyes having seen what ive done. Hes less shy about people meeting his mother, and more fun and joking with me.
My oldest daughter(10) is proud of me now, she wants me to go to her school for show and tell, she wants to pick out my clothes. Her friends apparently used to hassle her before now dont (yeah that one kinda hurt .. i never realized ..)
My youngest daughter(9) never stops cuddling me. Shes like a different person. Even though im not yet near my goal weight she says im skinny now, and she loves it.
My youngest son(8) lives in his own little world .. im not entirely sure hes actually noticed yet
There is more but im thinkin this post is long enough already
Being nearly 100lb lighter has seriously made the difference here. I cant wait to get rid of the rest!
