CROSS POST FROM MAIN BOARD JUST HAVE TO SHARE
Post Date: 12/9/07 2:16 am
Well i went out shopping with a friend of mine today; she just had her panni
removed and wanted to try on some clothes. i have never been able to
fit into anything this particular mall sells so i just ' window shopped' and dreamed
of the day when i could buy something there.
One of my goals has been to go into any store and be able to pick up somethingand buy it.
Well i saw the BEAUTIFUL jacket in a size XL and i thought what the hell; lets just see
how close I am to shopping here. Well don't you know IT FIT;
My friend was waiting to see me in it so i opened the dressing room door walked into the store
and stood there with tears running down my face . A nearby sales girl said that looks abit small
we do have it 1 size larger; When my friend explained about my recent surgury she asked
how much i had lost. i told her 90 lbs and she came over gave me a big hug and said
" God bless you honey" i said "oh he already has =) ". i did not buy the jackket; whats the point
when in a month or so it will be too big. its just the knowledge that i could have bought
it that has me thinking WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good Will here I come

Darla,
That is such a WOW !!!! I can't wait to see you at Timonium Dinner Theater on Sunday.
Hugs, Mo
Comparison is the thief of joy!
If we spend our time comparing our life/weight loss/body to others, we totally miss what WE have accomplished. Keep in mind how far you have come and what you can do now that you couldn't do weeks/months/years ago. I hate the expression " It's all good", but in this case it fits! Wherever you are in your journey ... It's ALL good!!!
I'm crying happy tears now too. A well deserved WOW moment for you! Congratulations!!! 
Hi Darla!!!
What a WOW moment girl!!! I am so excited for you and so darn proud too!
You will have so many wow moments make sure to share them with us.
Big hugs to you my friend!
I am who I am and accept my feelings wholeheartedly.
Those that mind don't matter, and those that matter don't mind.
