Day 157 - I am a big girl now

T2 asked if I had more energy now that I have lost weight.  Not really.  I am tired right now.  If T hadn't barked as much this morning I might still be asleep cozy in my bed.

However, I don't recall ever lacking energy, but I was not physically fit so moving was hard.  Moving is still hard.  My knee had hurt for so long that babying it became second nature.  Now I don't think my knee hurts, but I still favor it.  I walk up the stairs with the stronger foot pulling me up, but that has been hard since my stronger foot is in a cast.

I thought that I had arthritis in the knee and once I lost the weight I would have to have knee surgery.  But I don't think that is the case anymore.  Some things like getting out of a chair or just standing up are all normal now.

The world wasn't made for people as large as I was.  Still I am very large, but it will accommodate this size better then the size I started out as.  I would have to scope out a restaurant tables to see if I would fit, I worried that an aisle would be to small or I would get two seats in the theater because I spilled over.  I still spill over, but I am not as intrusive so that is the step in the right direction.

I know people still judge me, but you know hey look where I came from.

So all and all yes there are differences and I feel those differences both emotionally and physically.

I still have to fly first class, but hey I may never be able to fit into a coach seat again.
