Lots of Wow Moments

Hi all, Wanted to share some good news finally with yall. One is that I have had several good days of eating. (Well good for me) So I am feeling a little better. The biggie is that yesterday I went with my daughter and her Girl Scout troop to Daytona USA. After spending 20 minutes in the shower trying to convince myself that I could make it all day I finally went. What is the first thing I see when we get there? A turnstile. ACKKK, I was ready to turn around and go home right there. My son saw the look on my face and winked at me. When it came time for us to go through. I fit. Not even sideways. Normall like everyone else. What a way to start the day. Then there was the Simulator ride that only holds up to 400 pounds max. It seats 2. My best friend and I rode it 4 times with no problems. The seat belts fit, the seats fit all it was awesome. We went to the I-Max theater and I had room on both sides of my hips in the seat. I felt like a little kid. The best part of the whole day is not once did I have to find the nearest bench to sit down or the nearest bathroom to throw up. Both of which were my biggest fears. It was an awesome day. Had to share the good news with the Maysters. Hugs to All, Kat

Kat, Back in June After the Cinci conference we went to Kings Island Amusement park. ALl the way there I felt so sick and nervous. I just knew that I wouldnt be able to fit in the coasters and I would suffer the same horrible embarrassment from the summer before. I will never forget the look on my young sons eyes as two big men tried to close the bar over my huge belly. HE never said a word, but the look in his eyes said everything. When we went on the first coaster I felt so scared and like I wanted to throw up. But Jaime, Vicki and Suzie Sloan kept cheering me on and telling me I would fit. And by the grace of God I fit, with room to spare. I was on cloud nine the rest of the eveing, and with each ride i became more and more amazed that I actually fit. Later in the summer I took my son to Kennywood in Pennsyvania. And We rode every ride there. My son was beaming all day, but never said a word.. But I knew what he was thinking... And I was so proud of myself for never giving up. Kat, keep up the great work and enjoy each and every day in your new life!!!! Keep smiling and enjoying these precious victories. Congrats and lots of love and hugs, Laura
