Hi I'm Karen for those of you who don't know,me. I've lost 53 lbs so far on my journey, started off at 475. I go to work and church and absolutely nowhere else, this has been going on for about 4 years. Yesterday I spent 2 hours in a store. I stood for about 20 minutes of it and then I got a chair with wheels, I wheeled myself around the store, with my husband and 1 daughter. I got loads of church outfits for the girls (2 daughters). Then I went into another store walked around, then sat, then walked, then sat, etc. for about an hour. But I did it. Then today I went back out but at first I sat in the car, but then I went to a restaurant. It was the first time I've been in a restaurant in 4 years. I was always afraid I would not been able to fit in the chair/booth. Truth be told I barely fit in the booth, but I did it. This is HUGE! I am slowly becoming an active member of society again outside of my job. This is huge! Praise the Lord hallelujah I've free.

Congratulations! It is funny how we don't acknowledge what we are eliminating from our lives due to our weight until we start getting it back. We don't realize how 'heavy' and weighed down we are by our weight. Keep up the good work.0
