My WOW moment

Last night I went back to my old neighborhood and I visited a church I had gone to for many, many years, since childhood. I used to sing there for over 10 years, lots and lots of history.... When I left I was really heavy, at least 300+ pounds.

I've been in touch with a lot of those people via email/myspace/facebook but it's rare that I get to go back and visit.

One of my friends had to 'reintroduce' me to someone I knew from years ago, I sat in with his band once.

Friend: "Aldo, say hi to Moe."

Aldo: "Moe? I don't know a Moe.." He looked at me and thought for a while

Friend: "Yes you do, she used to sing here...a long time ago."

Aldo: "Moe? I remember a Moe, she was a big time singer...she was awesome"

Me (to my friend): "Is that me he's talking about?" My friend nods yes.

Me: "Aldo, I'm Moe!!"

He did not recognize me, and I still don't think he was convinced it was really me until other people stopped by and said hello!!! I got lots of shocked faces, dropped jaws and people who had to do double-takes when they realized who I was. I realized that I looked different, but not unrecognizable!!! It was crazy!!!!!

Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."

You are so funny - actually the skort is almost to big now but the top is new (actually I bought the top over a year ago as a "goal" outfit along with a pair of white capris and both fit now......) I don't think the skort would fit you as it is a 16.....but I will be done with it in a couple of weeks I hope....

Can you believe I actually have the shirt tucked in? OMG what a concept......
