TIME TO TOOT
Hi Little Linda!!!!
I just love your "tootie" post....we all need to blow our own horns sometimes. It feels good to feel proud of what we have done and have accomplished after years of the shame and embarrassment that come with obesity. I tooted myself yesterday when I figured out my BMI is not that of an obese person anymore....I am overweight...and so happy about it.! I had my one year follow-up appointment and was told that this was probably where I would be settling in with my weight. I didnt like hearing that and it really kicked my butt into gear and since then I lost 7 pounds. I have upped my exercise and water intake. Sometimes we get complacent and need a little kick-start. I got mine and am raring to go again.
Root-a-toot-toot to you!!!!

Linda, you are like the Godmother of this board - one of those people so many look up to for inspiration and positivity! I just had to say that. 
My TOOT (the good Lord knows I'm a pro in that area!) is that I marvel at the energy I have to do things that I used to DREAD! I park at the first open parking spot I come to, rather than search for the closest open spot to the door. I can carry on a conversation while walking distances I used to avoid. When I get a bug up my much smaller butt to do some house cleaning, it usually snowballs until sense kicks in and I realize I need to go to work or sleep or do something else!
Last night AFTER I got home from PNC at about 9:10, I got the kids to bed; cleaned out, washed and re-filled the litter box; scrubbed my daughter's bathtub (
) and hung a new shower curtain; washed a sink FULL of dishes, and swept the whole floor on our main level! And I didn't pop one dern bead of sweat, either!
Yup.... WLS is an amazing thing. TOOT!!!!
