My *BEST* WOW Moment...YET!!!!

My Little sister has always been just that....LITTLE!!! When we were young she was a cheerleader, on the homecoming court, prom court...popular. I was heavier and not so popular. When we were in middle school we got into a fight after school and she was calling me a "Big Fat Hog" and I was slapping her for it. She ran to the kitchen drawer and took out a knife and held it up and said "Slap me now you Big Fat Hog" and I did. She brought the knife down and slit my wrist. I will never forget that day. No therapy needed and no hard feelings. We were kids. My goal since my surgery has always been to weigh less than her, even if it is only for ONE day. The last time I asked her her weight, she had conveniently lost five pounds. I told her not to get upset, but that was a goal I wanted to work towards and it was my inspiration. I was going to wait until the next time I saw her and make her get on a scale so I could see for sure how much more I had to lose to weigh less than her. Tonight we were chatting online and she said that she has been working out too much and is not losing, but gaining muscle. I know this is true because she is BUFFED!!!! I would love to have her body. She has had plastics done after having kids and had a TT and Breast Augmentation. I non chalantly asked her what she weighed and she replied "You passed me up." I started crying. She said that she is 172 and today I was 171!!!!! Me....the BIG FAT HOG....is now the "little" sister!!!! I have two sisters and have always been the heaviest. Both were skinny...my older sister was a size 3/4 in school....NOW...TODAY...I AM THE SMALLEST!!!! Can you stand it???? I can't!!!! It was midnight when we were chatting and my husband was already in bed. I wanted to go wake him to tell him. To call my mom and tell her!!! Who can I tell???? OF COURSE....My October Sista's!!!! Help me celebrate!!! I DID IT!!! OK...enough about me. Hope you are all having wonderful WOW moment, too. Hugs, TABBY....AKA the "SKINNY" sister

Oh can I relate to that story so well! Way to go Tabby.

Hey "SKINNY" OMG I am so doing a happy for you!!!!! YAY That was just a familiar story for me except as I am literally the baby sister with 6 older brothers (by 13 years the youngest form the youngest brother) I have always had Sister-in-laws. ALWAYS TINY ONES!! Ugh!!! So I am soooo hoping to beat them at this game. They are slowly becoming NOT so skinny. Well one of them I will never beat as she has eating issues but if for one day I could just even be in the same size as them I would for joy. SOOOOO sorry..after my rambling I SOOOOO understand your story I am soooo happy for you. And the yet so happy part is that you are going to KEEP loosing and toning and she is gong to have to work even harder to try and keep UP WITH YOU! You Go Girl!!!! Hugs, Melissa

Tabby That is SOOOO AAAWWWEEESSOOOMMEE!!!! Weigh to go Girl! I bet you are walking on clouds today. Enjoy every minute. Your Oct. Sista! Tara

Tabby, that is awesome!!! I have always been the biggest in my family - even my mom, who's heavy, but never like me. Well, I am finally down to a 3x - my mom's size! Well, she's more a 2x, depending on the top; but that is a major achievement for me, to be able to fit into her clothes, and one day, be smaller!

That is great news Tabby!!!! I am really proud of you I got on the scales this morning and WOW!!! I am down to 172.2!!! I was sooo excited!! I have been a little under the weather this week but been dropping weight still. This week has been wonderful. Last week my highest was 178 and this week 172!!! I don't know what got the ball rolling again but I like it Lisa S

Hey, Skinny Sister! You've brought a tear to my eye. I'm very happy for you. Lisa

Hey Skinny! I am so happy for you. I was the youngest, yet the biggest of all the sisters. I can totally relate, and I am jumping for joy for you.

BIG Hugs to you Tabby!!! Congrats on now being the "little" sister!!! I tell ya, I got happy chills from reading your story!!!! Here's to many more WOW moments....but I don't know if ANY of them can be better than this one for you!!!! Congrats again! Susan
