One of the questions I am always asked is Shrink, how do you feel now that you have lost so much weight?
Answer:
Physically, I feel amazing, I can do things I couldn't do before. I am currently tending to a garden in my back yard. I work hard in the garden to keep the weeds out and no way would I be able to have done it in the shape I used to be. I enjoy things like mowing the lawn, walking long walks, swimming with the kids, bike rides and much more. Stuff I missed out of all those years being obese. What about mentally? Mentally, well that is a different story. Honestly mentally I am a wreak. I am miserable. I miss eating what I want, when I want and how much I want. I miss it so bad. It has been a bit over 2 years now and I still haven't gotten over it yet. Blahhhh!
Thank you for your candor and honestly. It really helps me to know that someone feels the same way - about missing food. I'm nowhere near goal yet, but I'm working on it with WWP+. I miss food and I'm trying to accept not having all that I want of it in my day to day life.
