Unexpected Wow!

I had some extra time after a workshop yesterday, so I decided to go downtown and get a coffee drink and read for a while.  Purchased my $4 drink (which I ended up drinking only about 1/2 cp of it b/c it didn't set well) and went out on the porch to sit.  Saw the rocking chairs and automatically thought  "I wonder if I can sit in that chair and get up without it catching on my hips and coming up with me."  I sat and actually had about 2 inches on either side of my hips.  I didn't even touch the sides!!!  WOW!!!

Congrats on your wow it is always nice to fit comfortably into seats.  Sorry you could only drink have your drink (they need to sell 1/2 cups for all of us WLS customers)

Hi Ginny,

Isn't it amazing how we don't percieve ourselves to be smaller, but things like having extra room in seats and chairs tell the 'real story.' 

Congratulations and wishing you continued success,

I love that feeling too.  I love going places and not dreading the chairs.  I esp. like sitting comfortably in a movie theater seat!

Had another wow today.  Bought my first size 14 that fits!!!  at Walmart!!!  So excited.  Thought I would share with people who think it's a big deal.  My husband just grunted when I told him.

It feels great don't it.  I had the same king of wow moment when I went to the movies a few weeks ago.
