So I am sitting in the Detroit Airport during my layover from Nashville to Davenport Iowa.   I am smiling from ear to ear the people must be thinking I am NUTS.    Well when I got on the plane I asked for the seat belt extender because I always ask for one (well ever since 1996).   The flight attendant looked at me like I was nuts and said, I don't think you will need one.   I had to stop for a minute, it took me by surprise.    I told her that I would try it and if I needed it I would let her know.  I just knew she would be bringing it to me in a matter of minutes.  So I sat down adjust the seat belt to the biggest it could be and CLICK... it CLICKED.   WTF r u serious... I wanted to just yell and tell everyone... I DON'T NEED A SEAT BELT EXTENDER ANYMORE BECAUSE I LOVE MY DS.    I didn't yell it though... i just sat there smiling just as I am now.   

I can not be live this... this has to be the biggest WOW so far.

I am smiling myself!    I know you must be on cloud nine!   People that have not been through this don't have any idea how humiliating it is to have to ask for that extender.  I am so proud for you and your well deserved "sky moment" today!   

I guess this means that you are in the MILE HIGH club........LOL.   Or at least one part of it.

Congrats. I know that was a great feeling. I haven't flown in years but at this point I know I would still need an extender. Someday though.

It was recently brought to my attention that I have been smiling a lot too. Just a grinning fool. I had to agree that its true. Whats not to smile about when you are getting healthier every day?

I only had to use a seat belt extender once at my highest weight.  I was SO humiliated to have to ask for one.  I am so excited for you to have this really big, huge, exciting WOW moment!  What a great day for you!  Keep up the good work and mark this red letter day on your calendar!
