RUB A DUB DUB IN THE TUB!! January 14, 2008

Hey everyone! Hope that everyone had an awesome weekend!

Things have been going fairly well for me lately. I have started to drop again. My weight right now is 235lbs and I am so happy about that. 5 more pounds and I will have lost 40lbs...and that is in just a short few months really. Hard work and proper eating habits, have helped me win this battle!

But something even bigger that put a smile on my face this morning...another little reason why it is important for overweight people/obese people to lose weight, another little thing that we all tend to miss out on without really realizing it....to have a bath again!

This morning I decided to have a quick bath to freshen up, and you know what...i fit so nicely in that bathtub again! ha ha.I know it sounds silly..but this is life of an overweight/obese person...very hard to fit in a normal bathtub and its not at all comfortable. But when I sat in it this morning, I just couldn't help admiring my legs. Even though there is still alot of work to be done with them, they are looking so much better, smaller and leaner than what they once were. It was fantastic and I thought to myself..i can get used to this ..!:-) I was much more relaxed sitting there..and I just had to take a few more minutes just to really enjoy that moment again. The feeling that, wow.. I am not squished in here anymore...

Well, i suppose in the next little while..I will be shopping at alot of bath stores to purchase alot of bubble bath stuff...ha ha something i have not done in years..i forgot what its like to actually just relax in a bath..not to mention fit comfortably in one!

So again...there are so many little things that we miss out on in life sometimes not even realizing it, and its almost like the freedom others carry...we just don't have. And when you get to have it back..it feels so good.!

As a result, when you start feeling the freedom again... you start feeling in control again of your own life, rather than not having control at all.. just doing whatever you CAN DO..and just shrugging off and accepting what you can't. WELL NO MORE OF THAT FOR MORE ME!!! And YOU ALL should think about those kinds of things and decide whether or not you are going to just let life just pass you by, and accept being overweight..and have your freedom taken away..or take charge and stand up for yourself, take blame and change because in the end..it is you that must make that choice no one else! And its the best decision you will ever make. We are all stronger than what we give each other credit for. I am an example of that!

When i started this transformation..i wanted to take back my life..and just this morning ...I once again realized, that is exactly what I AM DOING!! And I am so excited to enjoy these little things again because you know what...I DESERVE IT TOO!!
have a good one..need to run to the gym now...talk soon...
