Another WOW Moment for Me

Hey All, Something I just remembered that I forgot to mention in my other post from earlier this morning: Next time you get to feeling down because the scale has not moved in days/weeks/months, here's something to remind you that it's not always about the number on the scale. I was sitting at my desk at work yesterday afternoon when it suddently dawned on me that I was experiencing a WOW moment. First, I need to back up and set the scene. I typically dress sort of casual for work (including sneakers or other casual shoes). I can get away with a nice tshirt/sweater/blouse and nice jeans. On the days where we have meetings with our customer, I feel obligated to dress up in typical business attire. This was a feat prior to WLS, let me tell you. So we had a customer meeting yesterday and I'm sitting at work wearing a new blouse, dress slacks (Misses Size 16 Giorgio from Wal-Mart with no elastic waist and we all know how small that Giorgio line is cut!

woohoo!) and 2 1/2 inch high heels (wearing heels again is a WOW moment in itself). Here's the WOW moment...I realized that it has been over 25 years since I wore jeans/slacks, etc..with my blouse/shirt TUCKED IN!!! Yep, I had the courage (or obliviousness (is that a word?!..ha!)) to wear slacks with my blouse tucked in yesterday. It didn't look too bad. I am very critical about how I look and I'm very self conscious about my panni (come on consult with PS next week!) so for me to think "hey, this doesn't look too bad", and then to actually tuck it in and come to work made me feel really good! So that's my little WOW moment for the week. Thanks for listening

Take Care, Terry

I know the 'style' now is to be untucked, but I seem to tuck .. because I CAN now!!! That is a really super wow for you! Hugs, Mo

Hey girl - WOW!!! is right!!!! Just that you had the courage to "tuck!!!" Like you, until they lop off the panni, I probably will be reluctant to tuck!!! I'm so happy for you, I know what an emotional struggle it's been for you, so I'm thrilled vicariously for you!!!! Tia
