65 POUNDS GONE!!!!!

This just keeps getting better all the time! I have now lost 65 lbs.! I noticed this week that I am able to cross my left knee over my right.....can't remember the last time I did that. I can cross the right one over on the left, but not as well yet. A few weeks ago I realized I could actually reach my right foot in the shower to wash the entire foot standing up. After being fat for so long it's amazing the "little" things you forget that you used to be able to do. I've noticed now that I am losing weight and finding I can do so many new things, I am starting to remember why I like being normal sized so much, and why being fat is not all it's cracked up to be. After 20 years of being fat you tend to forget what it was you liked about being thin, and it doesn't seem as important anymore. I am finding myself more thankful everyday that I did this surgery. Thinking of my mom a lot these days, it was 20 years ago yesterday that I had my last visit with actual conversation with her. I remember that night they had brought the lady next to her in the hospital a strawberry shortcake with her dinner, and my mom talked about how good that looked to her. She was diabetic and they wouldn't let her have any, and I remember thinking if I had known it was going to be her last night I would have found a way to have gotten her that strawberry shortcake. She struggled so with her weight and I only wish she had had this opportunity. I remember once during her many times of losing weight with Weight Watchers (only to gain it back), she called me into her room one night and wanted to know what the lump on her hip was. When I felt it I said "Mom that's your pelvic bone". She was so excited, and I so understand that feeling now myself.
