So… this Independence Day means something to me on a rather personal level… which is probably why I was willing to go celebrate with my family.
I realized today how much freer I am than a year ago! A year ago I was completely trapped in fat and it coloured everything about me. Even my moods were lower. Lately I feel totally buoyed by this new sense of freedom. One of the things I’m free of is back fat– doesn’t sound like much, and I still have some, but that was one thing that made me feel completely trapped in my own body. It weighed me down in so many ways.
I’m free of a lot of the self doubt I used to have. I still have some of that too– with worrying about what my hubs is going to think of the new me! But nothing like it used to be!
I am so glad I had this surgery– with all the ups and downs I’ve had, I still wouldn’t change a thing! It’s helped me liberate myself from the fat that bound me and the food that ruled me, find the best friend I’ve ever had, and travel to new places and even possibly move out of my situation! Woohoo!
There’s so much more to this surgery than the physical!
