Today, a few different guys held the door open for me and many people looked me in the eye. I believe this is because I am no longer obese. It's really strange. I feel seen for the first time in a long time. I also want to yell each time for them to go find someone overweight and hold the door open for them!

I just finished a month long trip to Indonesia, where I did tons of things I never would have pre-surgery. Hoping on the back of mopeds, surfing, hiking up and down millions of steps at different places, hiking, out dancing, etc. I am so dang happy.

Yesterday, I went shopping and bought size 12 pants. Can't believe it.

After a month of hovering between 200-204, I finally broke the stall and am officially in onederland. Yesterday I was 199, but I needed to see that today I was still under 200 and in fact I weigh 196. Such a good feeling. Also, I ran for 3.34 miles today.

Man, I am so dang proud that today, I put on my shoes and ran for 2 miles straight without stopping. I knew I should workout and didn't feel like and was coming up with a bunch of excuses not to workout, when I just somehow made myself do it. I was going to do the 1 mile route that I am used to but figured since I'm a lot lighter than I was before I should up my workout. I mapped out a 2 mile run and figured I would walk and run. But I ran the whole time. I'm really, really proud of myself. ...
