WOW MOMENT!

For 24 years I have been the overweight person at all in-law family get-togethers. With a smile on my face and in my heart, I can finally say, I'm the skinniest one at in-law family get-togethers! How do I know? My mother-in-law had this pink workout suit and a couple of months ago she had her two daughters and me try it on. I could get it on but it was tight. The same went for my sister-in-laws. My mother-in-law grinned and decided to keep it for herself. Well, the other day she brought it over for me to try on again, and I can wear the thing with a little room to spare! Told her I was going to wear it at the next family get-together and brag! (((Sigh!))) But I won't. Even though for years my sister-in-laws have been petite and worn stylish clothes and have made me feel "FAT", I can't do the same to them because I know how they are feeling now. Darn it! Why can't I have a mean bone in my body? Anyhow, that's my WOW moment for this week! What's yours??? Peggy B.

LIFE has its own rewards and tastes sweeter than revenge can ever imagine.

Aw, Frances! You are awesome and I luv seeing you when I come aboard to visit. Have a great, wonderful, fantastic Monday. Peggy B.

They know your smaller so no need to rub it in, I'm sure they are green with envy anyway. Sounds like your doing great I'm so happy for you. Keep it up girl. Tina

Awesome, Peggy! I think you don't have that "mean bone" because you've been on the receiving end of that sort of thing for so long. I used to think that I would lose a bunch of weight and exact some sort of self-righteous revenge on everyone who's ever made me feel fat, but since I made the decision to pursue WLS, I've taken on a totally different attitude. Everything just "is what it is" to me these days. Heavy people are heavy, skinny people are skinny, people in between are in-between, and so on. I don't attach any value to those things anymore. All I really care about now is that I no longer get winded when I walk upstairs to my bedroom or walk to the mailbox at my apartment complex, and that's all the satisfaction I need.

Wow is right! Peggy you are doing great! I didn't recognize you. Debbie

Thanks for another WOW moment! Life is good. Now if I could only get back a little energy. Still get tired easily but hoping after my hernia surgery this next month I can start exercising more and get my metabolism moving again. Have a great weekend! Peggy B.
