How much of life was I missing?

I always told myself that I could still do everything I wanted even if I was heavy. I was lying. My middle child goes to school in Jacksonville Florida (I know, tough life). Last year her father drove down with her from Maryland and helped her move in. This year my husband and I both came with her. On Friday morning we went and got all her stuff from her storage unit. When we got here we rented a car for ourselves. We filled both cars up twice with her stuff. Then we had to take it up to her third floor dorm room ( it was 95 degrees outside). My daughter kept saying that I could sit in the air conditioned room and wait for my husband and her to carry all the stuff up stairs. Last year and eighty pounds ago I would have. This time I didn't. My nephew also moved to Jacksonville this summer. He got drafted by the Jaguars football team. Last night was his first time playing professional football. Pre-season game against Tampa Bay. My Husand loves football so we got tickets. As we are driving in he said do you want me to drop you off out front while he parked. Nope. We hand to park quite far away. I had no problem walking in. Wasn't going super fast but still no problem. I could comfortably fit into the stadium seating. I had made sure I ate before going but the kid next to me with the soft pretzel was tempting. I just drank my water and watched the game. My nephew even played parts of the second half. He had gotten us passes to see him after the game. Had to wait around for about an hour with no place to sit. I was tired but I made it. After, my husband and I strolled back to the car. Usually I don't sleep well in hotel rooms. Had no problem last night. So maybe I could have done all that before having the sleeve but would I have. Personally I know I wouldn't have.
