It's been an interesting ride. It seems to be slow, but it's like a new me is emerging. For 30 out of 40 adult years I've been known by others (silently) as the 'big guy'. Now I'm shrinking - I can look into the mirror and not be disgusted with myself. I'm wearing clothes that for 20 years have been my 'skinny clothes.' People are coming up and complimenting me, saying that I look good. I'm able to exercise more vigorously than I have for a long time. It's all kind of strange, and it's going to take a while for me to get used to 'the new me'.
Yesterday, Sue commented that I was "happier". Well, I suppose it's true, but I hadn't really realized it.
Today was a little interesting - it was communion at church, so I take the little cracker piece and without thinking, popped it in my mouth and started chewing. Then it dawns on me -'ooops, I'm not supposed to be chewing, so I had to spit it out into a Kleenex. Thankfully we don't believe in transubstantiation ;-)
I also left my bottle of water in the car, so instead of slowly sipping my first litre of water while leisurely sitting in church, I had to pound down 2 liters in 5 hours. Note to self, if you choose to do this and you go out to do some errands, be very aware of where the washrooms are - fun times.
