I DID IT!!!!

I havent been in a store for almost 8 years. You weigh 500 pounds, walking is not the easiest thing in the world, not to mention the pain, and the humiliation of people seeing me. Today, even though I still have a wound healing from my drain site infection, I went to Trader Joe's, and for the first time in a long time, got out of the car, and went in! It was so awesome, I forgot how great being in a store is. I made it through the store, got the things I wanted, including finally finding Fage yogurt, and lasted until I got to the checkout line. There, I started hurting, so left the cart and money with my daughter, and went to the car, but I did it!!!!!

That is awesome!!!  Good for you!   Sounds like the first of many WOW moments to come!  Cathy

That is totally Awesome!!!     I am very proud of you, Woohoo!!! and what a great accomplishment!!!  I bet your daughter was so proud!  Many more blessings to come! Jeni

That is SOOO awesome!  It says so much about how your life has changed!  Congratulations!  And you picked my favorite store, Trader Joe's!

Wow on so many levels. I know that had to be something else because I didn't do things for many years because of other reasons. That was HUGE wow moment and I am so happy for you...it is only going to get better and better!!! Keep up all the hard work!!!  

Michelle, that is so wonderful!!!!   I am so happy for you!!! Isn't it amazing how fast the changes come and things start to change?!! Congratulations sweetie!  You are going to love the Fage yogurt. I actually buy the Trader Joe's brand in the big container. It is cheaper and has more protein, less sugar and fat. I get 2 servings out of each one. Some of my faves are... lemon ~ made with sf lemon pudding mix (1/3 of a small box), a lemon splenda stix, and a bit of lemon Torani syrup, and sometimes coconut Torani syrup too pbutter ~ made with Pbutter and Pbutter torani syrup choc/pbutter ~ made with the above plus  sf choc pudding mix, 1 splenda "green stuff" ~ made with sf pistachio pudding mix, crushed pineapple, and a bit of coconut Torani syrup  you can use sf jellies too.  I love it and eat it all the time!! What else did you get there? I love Trader Joe's!!!  Congrats on your huge WOW moment and to many more to come!!! May God bless your journey!!   big, happy hugs, Becky
