Little wows !!
Just wanted to share some little wows I have been having. First last week we were going out for the day and I just wanted to wear jeans. So I go into my closet and dig deeeep in the back shelf for my old jeans size 14. Well I am looking at them thinking "No way..not yet" but decide to pull them on and see how much more I need to lose before I can wear them. Guess what?? Then went on and they zipped!!! OMG I haven't worn those jeans in three years!! So I wore them all weekend to make up for lost time!!! LOL
Second little wow I was at meeting in church and was sitting in the pew and just instictively crossed my legs. It took a minute but then I was like "WHOAH!!!! Did I just cross my legs?? Am I sitting here like a normal woman? I am not trying to squeeze my knees together to stop looking like a guy when I sit!! OMG I can cross my legs again!!" Woo hoo!! Guess who makes it a point to cross her legs every time she sits now??!!!! LOL
You forget how the little things you can't do drag you down and make you feel like less of a person which of course would then make me eat even more but to be able to do that one simple act now that was a wow moment for me..to again be able to do things other women take for granted--oh what a glorious feeling!!
Okay I am done now!! Thanks!!!
Much luv!!!

How GREAT for you Laura!!! You are right...it is the little things that you cherish!!! I remember the first time I got into a size 10 jeans in the store...I went out and grabbed like every pair of size 10 and tried them on just to make sure the ones I put on first werent sized wrong!!!!
Keep up the amazing work!!!!

OMG that is too funny!! I know what you mean though..I keep grabbing the XXLarge sizes and then put them on and they don't fit they fall off!! To get a smaller size a Large is so foriegn to me!! Then I put it on and go "WOW!!"

That is wonderful! And it feels great too! I think they are two great big wow's not just little ones. When I first found that I could cross my legs again I sat next to my fiancee and said look I can cross my legs again, he said that is great but really didn't care about the signifigance I guess cause while I was heavy I didn't cry and say babe I wish I could cross my legs I was too busy saying I wish I could breathe better, ANYWHO, while we sat there talking and hanging out I sat the whole time with my legs crossed not even thinking about it and my foot fell asleep, it hurt so bad and all he could do was laugh saying so what did you miss again about crossing your legs... Maybe you had to be there, but I am sharing anyway! LOL

Actually...I can totally relate...but not from me...
A friend of my had RNY a few years back...and she did the whole crossing her leg thing...and then awhile later noted that she had some problems with one of her legs....after seeing a few doctors it was determined she had nerve damage...one doctor said "It's like you've been sitting with your legs crossed at the knee as much as possible, almost constantly..." and she HAD been!! Just because she could!!
I actually try to be careful with crossing my legs...after that story!
