Getting out and about

I have ( Oh my goodness) weighed over 300 pounds for years and I hid

from life. I had enough excuses to not go or do anything but hide in the house. If I went somewhere I was so hard trying not to be noticed I was ridiculus. But I felt like a beached whale and KNEW I was an embarassment to my kids and family. I have been relaesed from those shackles that I put on me. I have been going out of the house and yes doing things. I am no longer a couch stay at home potato. I am losing weight but gaining a life. It is just the little things that are giving me the confidence like a necklace that was tight is now loose, a pair of underwear that could not or would not stay up over my stomach now fits. The weekend is not sitting in front of the television watching my favorite shows now I might miss them because I am out and about.
