LOST and FOUND

Time to put out a new topic for discussion.

I was reflecting on how comforting you all are.. not just to me, but to each other no matter what the issue, crisis or drama or just a little needed reassurance for a "pick me up".

So I thought to myself .. hmmm.. since I have been Banded... I have

LOST:    weight (40+ pounds) AND
FOUND:  a whole new circle of friends

LOST:  one of my chins AND
FOUND: my feet with out leaning forward

LOST:  the need to rest after climbing steps AND
FOUND: the ability to do a full hour on the treadmill

LOST: a 2 in front of my weight  AND
FOUND : a 1!!!

LOST: the need to always dress in black AND
FOUND: Colors don't look so bad on me

How about you.. what have you lost or found since getting your band??
