The Trivial Things

afulghum

I have not reached my goal weight YET, but I'm still working towards it and I consider each pound lost a success


There are a few things that I never thought about before and that maybe others would consider small or unimportant, but I've found that the trivial things have had the biggest impact on me emotionally and mentally. One was when I realized I could wrap a towel completely around me. Another was when my little sister hugged me and could touch her hands behind my back. The latest was when I woke up this morning, looked in the mirror and realized that I have a definable waist. These are just a few of the things that have brought tears to my eyes and have kept me going with the hope that there are more pleasant surprises to come.


When I first began my weight loss journey, I didn't expect how profound of an impact it would have on me. At that time, I didn't fully believe I would be able to make it to where I am now, but now that I'm here, I have no doubts that one day, I will reach my goal of looking into the mirror and seeing my inner beauty reflected on the outside.

None of these things are trivial

Congratulations on your accomplishments so far, and best of luck as you continue the journey.

My trivial thing is being able to see triceps again. After about 10 years.... I sit there and flex em just to watch em pop up. I am fascinated by them! :laugh:

I know that feeling of being able to wrap a towel around you. I accomplished that right before Christmas, and the feeling was amazing! None of that stuff it trivial. It's not something that some people think of, but I know those feelings all too well. Congratulations on your successes! You are doing amazing!
