I was at work the other night, just about to go on my break when the patient I was with noticed me getting all of my things ready for break. I walk during my breaks and was getting my phone out, for music and my headphones. The patient asked me if I was going to exercise, to which I said yes. They said how much weight did I want to lose. I said about 80 pounds. They looked at me and said, I doubt that you have 80 pounds to lose, maybe 50, more like 40. Now, to someone else their comment may have been an insult, but to me it was like mana from heaven! For someone to look at me and say that I only needed to lose around 40 or so pounds made me feel great! Forty pounds, for those of us that have not less than 150+ pounds to lose, 40 pounds is almost like a drop in the bucket. It almost makes you feel normal. I smiled that day during that walk. This surgery has been one of the best things that I've done for myself!! I hope that everyone is doing well!!
