Celebrations!
2. I dove for third. Yes, I dove for third base like a freaking champion! In midair I thought, "Oh shit, my walnut!" I laid still for what seemed forever before I realized I did not crack the nut.
3. My underwear no longer requires a zipcode of its own. I can now claim to wear panties as my drawers no longer span the state of Texas.
4. I look HOT in my new green dress. This would indicate an increase in self esteem.
5. I have given almost all of my clothing away.
6. I weigh less than my husband.
7. TRUNKLE: (mungerism) physical state wherein the leg also forms the ankle mimicking a tree trunk. THIS TERM CAN BE RETIRED! I HAVE ANKLES!!!!!
It feels amazing to celebrate. There has really only been one upsetting event to report. As my four year old gazed into my eyes the other night he shared with me that he was scared because I was changing and no longer looked the same. He told me that he missed my big belly. It never enter my consciousness that my weight loss would have an emotional impact on him. He saw me lose over 100 pounds before, granted he was one. I explained to him that I was still the same on the inside and showed him pictures of when I weighed over 300 pounds. It blows my mind though that my son took comfort in my weight.
Ever since I was diagnosed with the NAR liver disease it has remained my priority to stay physically active and to teach my children healthy and positive choices. Noah's confession to me has given me yet another opprotunity to teach and show both him and Lilly about the power of being healthy and what is allows one to do. I am living my montra.
MOTION FREEDOM EVOLUTION
Congratulations, Abby! You are right- you have a lot to celebrate. As parents, one of the most valuable things we can teach our kids is how to be healthy. Noah may think that he misses the "old you" now, but as he gets older, he'll realize what a gift you have given him.
ReplyDeleteYou are on an exciting journey Abby, and an inspiration to many!
