-The WOWs just keep coming-Im so thankful!!!!

Hi Peeps,

I just wanted to share something that happened to me yesterday. It made me pretty emotional.

I am almost 3 yrs out-in Nov I will be. I have lost 280#, and as most of you know, I have 4 kids.  Oldest 24, youngest 6. Well, when my oldest started school-I was home room mother, I did it all-very involved, even with my obesity-until 2nd grade when Megan was being teased by her classmates because of MOM BEING A COW... thats what the kids would say. I stopped everything that involved me going into the classrooms. So, we went through my 2 middles (steph 18, and darrel 15) and my never going to ANY of their partys etc, just sending things via the child-

WELL......Jonathan is in public school this year-and had been asking me to come to school for lunch! Part of me was still nervous about being made fun of!!! I was so nervous, my tummy was just in knots.......BUT.....I went yesterday AND.......Not only did NONE of the kids make fun of me OR MY CHILD, they crowded around me like I was some kind of rock star........Are you our new teacher? No-Im Jons mom....Whats your name? Janet-whats yours-and I had 20 friends all the sudden and they ALL wanted to sit with me and Jon at our lunch table! LOL.

I left the school, with tears in my eyes-that after almost 3 yrs-I AM STILL crossing things of my to-do list that I made before surgery.....it had over 200 things on it!!! MY BIGGIES were my kids no longer being teased because of my size and for me to be able to once again volunteer in the classroom, for the field trips and what not-and I CAN NOW.....YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY!!!!!!!! What a super wonderful day! I LOVE  MY RNY and what its done for me and my LIFE!!!!! Thank you, God and Thank you, peeps-for being here-for the support, love and friendship you give. Love you guys!  Janet

Sweet Janet,
No one deserves it more than you. You have inspired and helped so many people. Please take care of yourself. I love you.

That's a great WOW moment.  Congratulations on your success.  Kids can be so cruel. 

Awesome Janet!  You should be so proud of your accomplishments!  I'm sure your family is so very proud and your kids have to be out of their mind excited to see the changes keep coming.  You ARE a rock star! ;) Lou

 I know your kids are proud of you and  280 pounds is amazing. You rock.
