I can tie my shoes in the middle now, instead of putting my foot on my knee and tieing them on the side. I can cross my legs now, can't put my right foot behind my left calf yet, but it'll come. Funny I didn't realize what pound I gained that made me unable to do these things.

I feel a little better everyday. I've walked at least 2.5 miles everyday since April 6th, I've lost about 17 pounds. I sometimes overeat. . .but now it's only one meal, not three or four days of binge eating promising myself to start eating healthy again on Monday (I must have gained 100 pounds promising myself to start on Monday). This time I started on Sunday after a weekend in Busch Gardens.

If I can do this. . .anybody can. The hardest discipline you will ever learn or teach is self discpline. Think about all of the time and energy you give to your job, home, children, significant other, church etc. and revalutate what you do and do not have time for. Taking care of yourself is the single most important thing.

Have a great week everybody, one day at a time.

    Thank you. I felt a little silly posting that, but if it gives someone a little of what I have, it's worth it.

    That's great! Guess what I can do? I can do the yoga pose where you lay on your back and put your feet up over your head and onto the floor behind you. When I tried to do that 20 lbs. ago I about strangled myself cause my fat made me not able to breathe. What can everyone else do now?:happy:

    Good for you! I know it's a wonderful feeling to be able to tie your shoes in the middle instead of on the side. That used to be me too. Keep of the good work and pat yourself on the back. :flowerforyou:
