Hard to say. I'm still feeling like it when I am on mine (heading there shortly) pannus shows itself proudly and reminds me of what a heifer I was. <BR/><BR/>It is a wierd feeling to not recognize yourself all of a sudden. That happens to me quite often. Sometimes I look at myself and the image is so different that what I am accustomed to seeing, that I don't like it. I don't like the curves and bumps and bones. But then of course I remember what thos bumps and bones mean. It means I am healthy and fit now. not round and fat and ill.<BR/><BR/>I ought to go make my own post......<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>ps. your new layout looks great!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07328885942330516790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006031035787773344.post-60154563120790337282008-02-28T21:32:00.000-06:002008-02-28T21:32:00.000-06:00Kim, first off, love the new blog look!

I'm having trouble imaginging myself not weighing 300lbs and it is something I absolutely cannot fathom. The fact is that I will not always weigh that much and you will run a marathon if you put your mind to it and decide it is what you really want to do. That's just a part of our past and our future with what this surgery can do for us. We are so stuck in what we have always been when in reality it is time to consider what we can become!<BR/><BR/>Someone once told me it took minimally 7 weeks to establish a habit. I also think it can be easily broken, so we have to be careful. I also think you can enjoy exercise if you find the exercise you enjoy. Try different things and see what happens!

But honestly--I have zero desire for it! But hey, more power to you! Just training for a race is awesome exercise whether you ever actually run it or not!<BR/><BR/>My thoughts on your questions: <BR/>(1) No time at all! You can enjoy it from the first second. I think it just takes finding something that's fun to do. <BR/><BR/>(2) I've recently been told it's never a habit. Skipping a day after two years in the gym is just as dangerous as skipping days when you first begin. Or so they say. <BR/><BR/>(4) I feel like I have the opposite problem. I SEE myself as I USED to be (thin) and not as I am now. I think I look great until I catch a full-body shot in the mirror!Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07629937220018719769noreply@blogger.com
