Monday WOW moments

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a good weekend. I did a ton of housework because my mom is coming to California to visit on Thusday! My wow moment this weekend was me trying to find a new sports bra. I have been wearing the same one from pre-surgery. My marathon-runner friend laughed at me and said, "you need a Medium or a Small!" I "pshaw'ed" her. Then I was at Target picking up a Large sports bra when I felt adventurous and grabbed a Med. one. It fit!!! It didn't have enough support so I didn't buy it, but the Large was too BIG! Ok, now your turn!

This weekend I went shopping too. Needed new bras and didn't have clue to what size I was. Went to JCpenneys and got measured.... 38C, no wonder my girls have been sagging I was wearing the wrong cup size and band size. Then I decided to try on a pair of jeans, one size smaller than the ones I bought two weeks ago and they fit! size 14. I can't remember wearing that size, maybe it was in 9th grade. I almost started crying with joy. thanks for giving me my turn to boast. Sher

Well, the bra thing must be a regular topic or problem area. I never wore a sports bra before but grandaughter suggested it because "Nan you do not have any more boobs"...so Nan went to Walmart and bought one that at least looked like it had a small shape for a cup and it fit! Now it does fasten like a regular bra because girlfriends let me tell you to pull abra on over your head with a torn rotator cuff is impossible!! Plus you look like a fool halfway down...I know I tried and on both counts are they nuts who designed those things!! But my wow moment was being with sister and her wanting to see my loose skin and she doesn't think it is bad...she said you just look like someone who lost a lot of weight! I love my sister...she is struggling with her weight but not as large as I was. She was such an encouragement to me and I laughed like I haven't in such a long time. And she commented that now she had to race to keep up with me...the "old woman" since I lost weight I run to and fro and do not walk with a shuffle anymore. You guys are great here and I truly am blessed by each of you for sharing your WL journey with me. Love you, Joan M

A friend's Mom saw me this weekend and told my friend I was "skinny" (I'm not but hey I'll take it LOL). My size 14 jeans are baggy and I'm wearing a regular size xl top today. I was sitting on the floor playing with my new puppy yesterday and all of the sudden I realized I was sitting indian style on the floor. I couldn't tell you the last time I was able to do that! Wow... three WOW moments in 2 days They're just coming on like gangbusters lately! You are all doing wonderfully. Congratulations on your WOW moments! Lizzie
