Something I didnt expect...

[StephieAck]

...is how utterley on a high my weight loss would make me.
I expected that I would just end up slimmer but be the same old Steph. Hubby commented on it today because I am slightly high on life these days lol
We were in the car with the radio on and I was laughing and joking with hubby and also dancing away in my seat and was just very plainly very very happy lol
I said to Tom "you didnt expect me to be like this did you?" and he said no, he thought I would be happier but not so totally overjoyed with life in general, it literally is like Im high on life, Im so damn happy and bubbly and I cant hide it lol
I knew being slim would make me happy to a degree, but never in my wildest dreams did I think that it would make me *this* happy.
Its to the point where if Im home and music comes on I dance around, if Im out and about and I hear music I have to fight the urge to dance around lol
The new me is someone I actually like and I am savouring every glorious second of my life and have definately adopted Katy Perrys attitude...to live like a firework, that song is definately my anthem now lol
Love to you all xxx

LOL that is just lovely! I hope I get to that stage too. I'm very happy for you. xxx

 

[StephieAck]

It is isnt it Grace. I spent so many years happy in marriage but that was about it, nothing much ele thrilled me, I rarely smiled and I sure didnt want to dance and get out there and milk life for all its worth, now I want to...I could just go out and dance around for joy with everyone...though I would end up in a padded cell pretty quickly if I did hahaha
I hope you get to this point too honey xxx

I love positive posts like this, what could inspire a pre opper more than reading how happy it could make you XX

 

[StephieAck]

Thank you Jacqui xxx
Pre-oppers...if you are reading this...dont hesitate to go forward with surgery. I cant guarantee that you will end up like me, I may be the exception but if there is even a chance that you could end up this totally thrilled with life, grab it with both hands...and both feet lol

At my post-op appointment, my surgeon commented on how happy I looked. Pity it went a bit pear shaped straight after, but never mind, I'll get it back.

I remember in my early 20s being a bit mad and dancing in a supermarket aisle.........it was great fun! I shall again!

You're a fab advert for WLS Stephie. xxx

Ex hubby was a bit of a &*^%$£ in that respect and I've never got over it.

Sorry to make it serious.....oh my word do I have some hang-ups!

Hugs xxxxxxxx by the way I shall have to lose another 2 stone minimum before I can shop proper in Primark!
Are they known for being very small sizes?

 

[StephieAck]

I havent really shopped much from there but I dont think they are known for generous sizes.
I have a size 18 dress here I was wondering if you were interested in, Ill have to pm you a picture. I thought of you because of the last dress I saw you in.
