Wow Moment!!!!

Hi all, Yesterday I had to fly a girl to Columbia, S.C. for drop off. My day started at 2a.m. Got to work at 3a.m. Drove to BWI and flew to Cinncinatti. Then flew to Columbia. Dropped off girl and flew to Atlanta,then back to BWI. Got on a total of 4 planes and didn't have to wear an extention belt at all WOW!!!! My day ended at 10p.m. I was tired but really had a nice day. It was my first time flying by myself but I loved it. Company paid for meals. My smart a-- husband said they sent me because I can't eat much. He is a mess. Hey I could even walk them airports fast.Definetly got in cardio. Can't wait to fly again. Shame I wasn't born rich. LOL!!! See all lighter. Joanne

Joanne, What an awesome feeling, I bet! It's the little things that seem so "big"! Who likes to even ask for a seatbelt extension. Great job!

Kevin, I was on 4 planes yesterday and there was one man on a plane that needed an extention. The stewardist was so rude. She dementrated the extention ,then told the man she would give it to him when she was done. Finished, walked down and handed it to him. He had a good sence of humor but I though she was very inconsiderate. When I flew before and needed one they dropped it in my lap without telling the whole plane. It was a great feeling and a proud moment for me yesterday. I know I have only just begun but wish people were sensitive to obesity issues. Being obese since childhood I truely understand the pregidice and the things people take for grandite. I wish all could walk in a obese person's shoes for one day. Attitudes would really change. My heart goes out to all who have worn my shoes.My dream is to someday help obese kids. I am so glad I took this journey and am in it for life. See ya lighter. Joanne

That's fantastic!!! Good for you!

Dineen, Thanks!!! Can't wait to fly again and look forward to my next WOW moment and hearing everyone elses. See ya lighter. Joanne

Joanne, congrats on your wow moment. We all deserve one sometime, regardless of what it is. Also, unfortunately, those people that are not on the "heavy" side, can be very rude. But in the end just realize we are better then them. They probably have not been in our situation. Christie

Christie, I know people , who never have been heavy might not even see anything wrong with their behavior . I'm just glad I am not one of them. I quess being heavy gave me a different outlook on people. That sure was a good benifit in my oppinion. I have to admit that one of my fears in lossing weight was that my attitude towards people might change. I thank God everyday that it didn't and I am proud of that. I quess we will always be heavy people in our hearts. I know I will always think as a heavy person and never will forget where I came from. See ya lighter. Joanne
