Have had to use a seatbelt extender in the car for many years (((the devil

IS a Liar )))) it gave me about 6 extra inches. Also, I can't even ride in my husbands car cuz the seatbelt won't snap around my midrif (?) (don't know how to spell, never had one before).

SOoo... I told myself I would TRY to remove the 'extender' in my car on May 1st. I prayed that I would be able to snap the seat belt and still breathe! That little SNAP was the most GLORIOUS SOUND!!! I checked and I was STILL breathing...I could even scootch around a little bit in the seat!!! I think I heard angels singing!!! I couldn't see for a minute cuz I had tears in my eyes. I even had room to spare and moved the seat up a little smidge to be closer to the wheel!!! The "girls" were still in the way but that's the least of my concerns right now.

Thanks to GOD and you BAF's, this IS possible and I on my way....whooooHOOOO!!! THANK YOU for all your support!!! Never had support like this before - it's making ALL the difference to me!

P.S. Will weigh on Sunday, last week I was 300. Lord please let me get into the 200's (for starters)! My final goal is 190ish.

"I would rather be what God chose to make me than the most glorious creature that I could think of; for to have been thought about, born in God's thought, and then made by God, is the dearest, grandest and most precious thing in all thinking." by George MacDonald

Congrats!!!! Believe me when I say this that the victories come in all kinds of ways including smaller numbers on the scale. I count them all joy, the loose clothes, the shoes that get too big, when your underwear starts to fall off and yes girl...it will. All of them, each and everyone of them are victories. Surgery is going to happen and you are going to be a raging success. The devil is liar!! Be blessed sweetie.

Congratulations!!! I am so happy for you. I know that I've had to fly some place for work for the past two months and getting on that flight and being able to buckle myself in and then tighten the seat belt was great. I completely understand how you feel.
