Wow?????

I really hesitate to call this a Wow moment and I hope this doesn't sound really terrible but... For the first time I am not the largest of the Moms on my son's baseball team. This really struck me at Saturdays game and I wanted to cry. Please do not get me wrong. This is not about the other Mom it is about me. I have 2 sons, 21yo and 11yo. They have been involved in organized sports for 16 years. I cannot remember the last time I was not the largest Mom. So for me this is something totally new and different. Does anyone else have a Wow moment they are having trouble coming to terms with? Michelle

Congratulations!! I'd call that a wow moment.

I think that is a great wow moment, at my church I was the biggest one there and now I am not, I looked around and found several that is bigger than me that goes there now and I felt so good about that. I dont have to be the smallest but I didnt want to be the biggest, I want to be a fit in that would not stick out either way, normal size, that is what I want so I can relate with you big time Michelle. Yeah for us!

Hi Amy- How have you been? Fitting in is a good way to put it. After the game on Saturday I mentioned to my DH that I wasn't the fattest wife. He got a big smile on his face. Michelle

Ive felt the same thing... I guess its kind of a wow, or more like a woah! Ive been out and been like... oh my gosh Im not the biggest girl in the room!! Or I will think... oh my gosh I look "normal"... its strange to be able to blend in with everybody else!!!

I teach first grade and felt that way many times, at a staff meeting, a grade level meeting, a conference. It is a great feeling - to feel normal. I love it...and yeah, it is a WOW moment, rejoice in it...enjoy the ride. Riding a new horse with a new attitude

I understand where you're coming from. It's weird not to be the big girl in the group anymore. I think my most disturbing wow lately didn't even feel like a wow to me. I went jeans shopping and found out that depsite my weight having been stable since Christmas, my pants size has dropped again making me smaller than my always tiny mother and sister. I'm 3 inches taller than both of them and I have a larger bone structure so even as a thin teenager I was always bigger than both of them. Wearing a 2P pants and a small top (did I mention my breasts are gone?) while they wear 4P (my sis) and 6P (my mom) pants and medium shirts is very bizarre and somewhat unsettling. In a number of situations I've found myself now the smallest person instead of the biggest which is very, very strange. It's a whole new world...
