The Weekend That Was The Austraia Day Holiday

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone

I hope that you have all had

a wonderful Australia Day Weekend, I’ve had the best weekend for such a

long time, I look back on what I can only describe as “My Existence”

of some 5 years ago where I weighed close to 156kg, where I could barely move,

could not get around, let alone live a fulfilled life. I was just existing and

not living. I’d come home from work fall asleep on the lounge sleep there

till it was time to go back to work. Well the old people know my life has changed

so dramatically, but many of our new people, who are contemplating the pro’s

and con’s of the surgery, whether it will work or not, should maybe read

this........ as I hope it will allay any fears you may have as to “Am I Doing

The Right Thing”

Well I am totally exhausted now,

I’m going to bed very soon, for this weekend has been full on, I’ve

had such brilliant time with my mate. We have been to the beach on most of the

weekend, I’ve climbed up and over rock pools, and for those who have not

been around, the beach I am talking about is the Nude Beach, had anyone ever

said to me, I’d feel so comfortable swimming at Birdie Beach, let alone

walking around this beach, climbing up and over rock walls, and falling off

them too in the altogether lol.... I have the scratches to prove it....... I’d

have been gob smacked.

I’ve lost over 70% of

my excess weight, with only a small residual to go, I feel so comfortable with

how I look as well as me now, nohting worries me anymore, I’ll be damned

if I will let anymore judge me, or criticise me, we only get one chance at

life, it is not a dress rehearsal. I never thought I’d become a

naturalist, I used to hide from mirrors let alone feel comfortable with me and

my body..... Sorry Mel.... I know it gives you mental pictures

.................... build that bridge honey..............lol.......... The only

down point of the weekend was “Blue Bottles” were in full swing and

I got stung................. The Foot Mel... On The Foot..... I know what you

are thinking.............

Then today, 4 of us went

sailing on Lake Macquarie, we left the marina about 9am, and sailed back in

late this afternoon, we had a wonderful picnic lunch off Pulbah Island, then

had a swim in the lake, then had a lovely little afternoon siesta on the shores

of the lake, it was so civilised, guess someone had to do it, so it might as

well have been us...... So if someone had have said to me 5 odd years ago, You

Bobby, will be sailing on Lake Macquarie, leading an exact opposite lifestyle,

to what you have now again, I’d have laughed in their face, but that is

what I am doing.

I do things now I could have only

once upon a time dreamed of, yet I do them now, I lead an extremely active life

now, fitting in as much as I can, only done because I’ve lost so much

weight, I go to the gym 5 days a week, and there is so much more I want to

start achieving, so don’t be scared or worried over surgery, I can recommend

it fully... I get tired still, but the reasons have different causes, but

the tiredness is no longer chronic, I will wake in the morning, ready to head

to the gym again.........

Hopefully you will not get into

Mel’s mind space over me communing with nature...lol... I just want you

to all know a new and comfortable “New You” is waiting to be set

free, so do it and don’t be scared........................... Now I am

off to bed......................

Night Night

Cheers

Rob
