Guest guest Posted June 19, 2003 Report Share Posted June 19, 2003 Good morning everyone, Just a moment of gratitude. When I was eating all of the time, I used to isolate myself, sitting my butt in a chair, watching lousy TV and eating. I never did anything because I was too sedated with food, or too lazy to take care of myself, or never had anything decent to wear. I just plain didn't feel good about myself, and my embarrassment kept me from participating in life. And of course, I couldn't do sports with my kids. Even walking up the stairs was an effort. Today I am heading out to walk the dogs with the kids. Then off to the gym where everyone knows me and is rooting for me. Feels more like a social visit than exercise most of the time. Then we'll go to the beach and ride bikes along the boardwalk. After that it's to my girlfriend's house to go swimming (I couldn't even fit in a bathing suit before!). Last night I went to a friend's house and a bunch of us ladies played Bunko. Saturday night I'm going to a going away party for one of my support group members. I have messages on my answering machine. I always run into people I know at the market. Man, oh man..it is so great to be involved in life!!!! I never want to go back to where I was. I literally lost years of my life...vanished. I am so grateful to have a second chance. Smiles, Vicki A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
