Good for you Rita - I remember the day I could do that for the first time. These moments will just keep on coming. Hope there are many more on the way. 
I remember that moment well.
Isn't it amazing? It's all those little things - those daily activities that reminded us how we were not like the "normal" public - that now are reminding us that we ARE becoming "normal" (whatever the heck that might be)
Fabulous moments - keep em coming!

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses. 
Gewtting a regular towel around me was one of my first and most memorable WOW's back in 2005. I STILL think about the fact that I can use a small towel EVERY time I take a shower. I love the fact that my WOW's remain my WOW's three years later!
I also told myself that forgetting where I came from would be a tragic mistake, as I would be more likely to repeat history and fall back into the wrong behaviors. Every morning before my WLS, I would lament over the fact that when I put my feet down on the floor after a night of rest that my feet would hurt. Swollen, pre-arthritic feet hurt in the morning. My back would ache from laying on it all night. My neck hurt. I made myself a promose three years ago that I would wake up everyday and sit on the edge of the bed and tell myself that it wouldn't hurt to get up and take the day on. I still do it to this day. My husband used to ask if I was ok, and now he just knows what I am doing. I also made myself a promise not to EVER say "this sucks" or "why did I do this" or anything negative about the bypass. Life isn't easy but the surgery and the process that began that day made it all worth living. It's a big process called "successing" and the towel is something you should rejoice in and REMEMBER forever! Great job and keep reaching!
