odd wow moment

I know its been a while since I've had a wow moment. But today I realized that I can wear bracelets again! They don't dig into my skin, or (in the case of cuff bracelets) make me all sweaty and gross! Feelin' girly, Jenn

Isn't that just the most fun! I'm wearing my jewelry again too, along with make-up... today a co-worker said "man you have the longest eyelashes" that was so cool because I really do but you can't see them with out the mascara. Congratulations! Darla

Any kind of wow moment is good, not odd. This big family on here we always appreicate it all. It makes us closer because we are going though the same experiences. Keep up the great work Jenn Kathleen G. from Missouri

I know what you mean, Jenn.....being able to wear jewelry again is just wonderful. The stages of transformation that we all go through are so incrementally small, but so very exciting. It would never occur to a thin (always thin) person what a joy it is to feel "girly" again. Thanks for sharing! Bonnie

Totally relating to this WOW. Today I am wearing a gold bracelet that belonged to my grandmother. Haven't worn it in over 15 years!

I even painted my nails red the other day. Haven't done that in years. As for the jewelry--I am now wearing rings I couldn't get on before, so that is nice. Mostly I am finding I enjoy wearing jewelry again. I think I just didn't care before or thought it brought more attention to me than I wanted when I was much heavier. I was also in a store the other day, looking for a Christmas gift and almost cried as I realized I could now shop in this store for clothes for myself. Wonderful feeling. Julia
