Packed conference room

Yesterday, I participated in a conference at a local hotel.  You know how they fill the room with round tables and surround each with 8 or so chairs?  That's how it was.  Then the room fills up with people, and you realize that you're trapped - there's no way you can squeeze between those chairs and make it to the door!  And lunch is a buffet in the hallway outside?  How can you carry the food and scrinch between those chairs and make it back to your table?  - oh, I'm sorry, uh, excuse me, i apologize, thanks so much, excuse me -

But good news!  I have lost 112 pounds.  I wasn't trapped at my seat, limiting what I drank, so that I wouldn't have to try to get up between breaks.  I found myself searching for a larger way through, and then was forced to take a smaller route anyway.  And I fit!!   with room to spare!!!  WOW!! 

I nearly cried when I sat down.  Little things mean so much!

Congratulations I am so looking forward to that when I attend my annual seminar in January.

Doing Great!!!

IT's just so great - you'll find it to be wonderfully liberating!

Yes they do Kathy,

Earlier today I replied something along the same lines as to how I always think that I need more space than I really do.

Enjoy your newfound smallness.

You know I am!!

Thanks, Christian!

I'm sooooooooooo proud of you!!!  I'm even prouder that you posted this and it's been an honor to call you a friend.    WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
hugs, Y

I think it is the things like this that really made alot of us have surgery.  Congratulations on your new found freedom.

I've been thinking about trying to go somewhere with a turnstyle just so I can see if I can fit through it with ease :)  The one place I can really tell I have lost weight is behind the steering wheel of my car...there is more room now.  Aren't these small joys great? Kathy, I celebrate with you.  I know it was glorious not to have to rub your belly across someone to get by!!!

Oh honey,  that's not a little thing at all!     It's one of those BIG things that we panic about but thin people never even begin to consider.    Everyone thinks I am just one of those people who is so responsible that I just have to get everywhere on time,  but my real motivation has always been that I needed to be one of the first people in the room so I could scope out the best spot to avoid embarrasing myself later!     And I've never let people think otherwise.

I'm excited for you - I think that is an awesome "wow" moment!!    Congrats and keep up the great work!!
