I DID IT!!!

I have always been very active although I was very heavy most of my life.  Back several years ago I had the opportunity to ride a wave runner/ski do.  I was very nervous as I have always had a phobia about calling attention to myself.  I was encouraged to try as my cousins and husbands held it still for me to get on.  After flipping it several times I was so humiliated and hurt as everyone stood around laughing at the fat woman who couldn't get on the wave runner.  This crushed me so bad!.  Although my family didn't mean to hurt me as I'm sure it was funny as crap looking back... it still hurt me terribly.  Well I tell you this story to tell you this... This weekend I rode and rode and rode... I got on with NO help!  It was easy.. It was fun!!  I had the time of my life!!  I had a great since of accomplishment when I hopped on with out a problem.  It was like I was a pro had been doing it my whole life.   I think I can finally say I feel NORMAL!!   This was one of my biggest goals and have officially met it!  I'm so very proud and happy.  I LOVE MY WLS!!   Tell me your accomplishments no matter how dumb you think they sound... these are biggies to us!!  

Alright Ginger! that is great!

Awesome Ginger!  I can't wait to be able to do things like that and not worry. One of my goals is to go white water rafting and not worry the whole time about how they will get me back into the raft if I fell out of the raft.

I can so relate.  You know  we all want to be thinner for health reasons thats a given!!  The little things like this seem to give us the drive we need!

I know it sounds almost dumb but it was very traumatic for me~!   I was so proud to say I could finally do something that most people take for-granted!!
