I forgot what my bones felt like January 14, 2009
being so obese for so long made me forget what it was like to be a “normal” size. I know i am still obese and not near a “normal” size, but I am feeling like a different person. A person with bones! LOL. I totally forgot what it felt like to actually FEEL my bones! I am amazed at the way my shoulder bones are pointing out these days. My elbows are getting bony, my collar bones are showing themselves (and they are NICE) I can feel my pelvis again! even tho there is still flab around my pelvis, I can feel it!! and so does DH ;) he acutally feels it all the time, lol. Every time I look down at my upper thighs i just cant believe they are mine. I was so use to seeing big ham hock type things with no definition whatsoever. Now, yes they are still fat and flabby, but I see my knee bones and can feel the muscle i am building in my legs. Its just shocking. When I first started this I knew that i would feel better thinner. I knew I would like what I looked like more and more with each lb lost, but there is no way to actually realize HOW FREAKING GREAT it feels to see yourself molding into the body you once had. I can see my old self again somewhere in all that flab. Im in there and Im peaking out little by little. Its amazing, and it feels better than any food will ever taste! ever. not to mention the health benefits I am feeling. some days I am tired of course, but that is usually because i’ve worked that day, or was going crazy at the gym. Not because I am just obese and out of shape. Now when I get out of breath it’s because I am doing a spin class or lifting weights, not just walking down the hall or cleaning my house. Things are changing. They are changing for the better

My DH laughs at the way I am always touching my collar bone area. For years they were hidden and now I can even see them! I so know what you mean.

I know i tell you a lot that you inspire me but let me tell you a little more!
I can tell by your pictures what good shape you are in.
In fact, i may weigh less than you, but you are in so much better shape than me. I am like a blob and you are all in shape, it’s a huge difference.
That is why i need to get back into exercise, it makes such a difference on how a person carries the weight.
You keep going, don’t lose your motivation.
You look really good and it is only going to get better.
