I never let being fat prevent me from doing/buying anything I really want. Since I've eliminated the grains & sugars from my diet (I'm a Primal Blueprint fanatic) I rarely crave anymore, so I don't find healthy eating much of a hardship (except for Beer. I had to quit drinking Beer because of the T2 diabetes). And I just bought a nice bike to replace another bike which was nice enough but didn't fit me well. I like my new bike very much. But I'm looking forward to enjoying being a normal size again. Wearing something besides t-shirts & elastic pants, although that's changing already. I've just about shrunk out of all of my clothing. I think I have two pair left of "skinnier" jeans I couldn't bear to let go of even though they were 4 sizes too small at my heaviest. I just feel that after all the hard work, I want a physical reminder (besides the body reflection in the mirror) of all I've accomplished.
