Lets play smet!!
when my 2 yr old says "Jump on Mommy!!"
Chase that same 2 yr old around the living room while she screams with giggles after she slaps me and says "Tag you're it!"
Help my kids at soccer practice without feeling like I'm gonna die in front of everyone and scare all the little kids.
Wear pantyhose without worrying about starting a fire 'cause my thighs rub together.
Roll around on the floor and play with my grand baby.
Wear cute shoes that don't look like orthopedics.
Dance with my husband without being self-conscious about how I look.
Take long walks.
Shop all day with my daughter.
Be incognito, because people don't recognize me.
Sit in a crowded theater or airplane without encroaching on other people's space.
Thanks, Meggie. I love to play SMET. It makes me stop and think about how my life has changed since I had WLS and took control.
