Doing Things You Couldn't Do Before

On vacation my daughter tried snorkeling. All our other vacations she never wanted to snorkel, because of her weight. I convinced her to give snorkeling a try. I reminded her it was great exercise and it will help keep the cruise weight down. She likes exercise now, because she knows it helps her lose weight and it keeps her from gaining it back. My husband and daughter went out to snorkeling on the beach at Grand Cayman Island. When she left for her adventure she was mainly thinking of snorkeling for exercise. She came back and was so excited, because she seen beautiful colored fish and coral reefs. Just think, this was what she was missing out all those years. Last year, when she was overweight she couldn't hardly keep up with us walking and exploring islands. Now, she doesn't have any trouble keeping up with us. It's like she received a new life. Also, on last years trip there was one day she couldn't go with us, because her foot was swelled up so bad. This year she didn't have that problem with her foot swelling up that she couldn't go along. Her foot did swell a little, but nothing like last year. So when your watching The Biggest Loser and you hear them talk about all the things they missed out on because of their weight, they are right.
