Biggest WOW moment ever!

I ran into an old friend yesterday after work.  I was sitting in an office and she came up to the doorway.  When I saw her I called her name and she turned around and asked the woman I was speaking to what she wanted.  She looked right past me and never batted an eye.  I asked her how she has been and she looked at me and for a few seconds and all I got was a blank stare.  Finally, she recognized me and ran over and gave me a big tearful hug.  It was great!  She said she truely didn't recognize me until I smiled at her.  Somebody pinch me so I know it's real, lol.
 

Ok, I said I wasnt posting here, but I did lurk around this morning, b/c I do truly care about you all. 
Congrats on your wow moment!!!  They are awesome, I am 1 week short of being 2 years out and its still awesome when they happen.  Keep up the good work, you are a true inspiration!!!

You just can't stay away =) No need to go anywhere, we love you Rhonda! Besides that, newbies (myself included) might benefit by knowing it's not always gravy (non pun intended) after surgery. You'll pull through and we'll be here to help you if you need it and feel like sharing. Hang in there!

 HI Rhonda, I am sooo glad you were lurking!  You are the one who is the true inspiration.  Things just aren't the same if  you are not around.  I always read all of your posts.  Even though we've never met, I feel like you and your family are my family too.  I've been bummed lately since there hasn'
t been much going on with the board.  It's like we have all gotten sidetracked and I miss seeing everyone's posts every day.  I am resolving right now to post every day, even if I don't have anything but my support to offer.  Everyone on this site has really helped me to keep going and I don't know what I'd do without you all.

How exciting! You're doing great!

I love your picture.  You are looking so pretty.  Are we going to get to make up our support group or will we just have to wait until the next one?  Now that I'm back on days, I was all ready to come until they cancelled due to the weather.  I am really wanting to see everyone.  Are you already at goal?  You looked so good already when I saw you the last time and that's been a while.

Goal? What's goal? My goal is 150 and I'm still in the 180s...ugh. I've been bouncing around the 180s forever!! I would actually be happy with my body at this point if I could have a tummy tuck (and a boob job)! I wear anywhere from a size 8-12 depending on the brand, cut, yada yada. If I didn't have my flabby belly skin, it would probably take about 2 sizes off. No, I'm not happy with the number on the scale, but I'm actually not too far from where I want my body to be. I had a breakdown about my flabby belly skin at the most inopportune time, but I am trying to handle it. I'm, not having any PS until we have our kids. That would just be a waste of money to me since we want to have kids in the not so distant future. Thanks for the compliments! I take them gladly=)

These are the BEST of the wow moments. Congratulations!!

Thanks Susan.  You have helped me so many times I couldn't count them all, and my journey is just beginning.  How is the new business going?  Why did we stop posting our daily intake?  I know I was off for a bit so I guess I missed it.  I am back to journaling every day but I miss posting it here and seeing what everyone else is eating.  It helped to give me ideas.  I have a tendency to get into a rut with my food.  I really miss everyone.
