Benefits of losing weight # 109 & 110

This is a bathroom "Wiping-Aid"

Pushing near 400 lbs. one  realises that you are dealing with such a large stomach that you really have to contort yourself to be able to reach where you need to, to stay sanitary.  Doing so required bending in such a a way that I cut off my air supply temporarily and I had to decide (eventually) each time how out of breath I could be vs. how clean I wanted to be.  It was an exhausting ordeal.  I never felt as "clean" as I wished to be. 

How about that for a daily reminder of the need to lose weight? 

 Don't get me started on not fitting into our shower stall at home and what steps I took to get clean down where I couldn't reach. 

Okay, it's way more information than you needed to know, yet...

this was my life for the past couple of years and I seriously considered buying one of those wipe aids pictured above! 

Now that I am currently down 94 pounds from my record high, I reach everywhere just fine thankyou!  An unsung,(but really significant) milestone in a morbidly obese person's life!

Oh!  Benefit #110??  "Regular size" bathtowels are beginning to have the capacity to dry me off completely after my shower too!!
