Changes

I'm a little over halfway to my goal in this journey. I've lost 85 pounds so far and there's been some changes I wasn't expecting.

1. Fruit and baked goods are my new favorites. I was a big fan of neither, pre-surgery.
2. I like to exercise. Or, at least, I do it. I do something physical with my body at least 5 days a week and have kept that up for 4 months. That's the longest I've ever stuck with an exercise plan.
3. My skin is looser than I was hoping it would be. Discovered last night that even my hands have some extra skin. I'm hoping that it will tighten up over time. I'd really rather avoid the plastic surgery to fix it.
4. My hands and feet have lost weight.
5. I like to wear dresses.

I'm trying to be kind to myself through this process and patient with the journey. Frustration leads to giving up and that's not an option in this case. I've taken the stance of observation as I go through this and I'm doing my best not to think/talk about it constantly. Just breathe and practice gratitude.
