I sat on a barstool!!!!!

Ok...for soooo many years I could not sit on barstools. They were up too high and i could not "hoist" myself up there no matter how I tried, so I just left it alone...

Well, this past weekend, we went to a mexican restaurant and had to wait for a table, so my boyfriend said let's go sit at the bar and wait. I was thinking to myself, ugh oh no, not the bar stool. But instead of saying no or trying to make an excuse I figured, ok. He went to go get drinks for us and i attempted the stool...and guess what!?!?!?!? oh yeah...i already told you...LOL I sat on the stool!!!! I was grinning like a fool lol he said what is it? i said i have never been able to sit on one of these before!!!! He said well when was the last time you tried? I said I don't even know...he said well that was over 200+ pounds ago....

I swear...sometimes i really forget that i have lost all of that weight! I am now just 34lb away from the 2's...just can't believe it still...

We went to Austin and WALKED around the capitol...up the stairs, up hills...around the park, down the street...sometimes i just feel like skipping because i just feel soooooooo FREEEEEEE!

Happy New Year everyone!!!!

You are such an inspiration to me!  It is marvelous how you are just going about living your life.  You BET it's freedom  - -  all the limitations we have had a supersized people were like a prison.  I can't wait to join you on a bar stool!  Congrats and Happy New Year!! 

awwww...thank you. You say the nicest things I'm holding the barstool next to me open for you!! I said to my boyfriend, we can just eat right here...lol i don't ever want to get down....well we did go to the table but i swear that really made my day

For Christmas we went to the omni hotel for brunch. The hostess took us to a table with 4 chairs kind of in the middle of the room. but there was a cozy table for two on the side of the room, and i asked if we could sit there...of course she said yes. It wasn't until I sat down, that I realized these chairs had arms, and I fit perfectly!!! Before I would have requested a chair with no arms, but there is no need for that now. We had a fabulous meal, and I just felt so good the entire time, knowing that I have crossed yet another barrier....

I went to the dr on Monday because i had been so sick on Christmas and not feeling much better after that...so i was called back...and first stop...yes, of course, the scale...Well the nurse selected the weight to be 280, this also made my day...i'm not in the 2's yet, but apparently I look like i am LOL

I don't think I ever knew how good this could feel! I am living my life with ease...sometimes not even noticing how much things have changed, and how i feel just like everyone else....only better! LOL

I know just what you mean.  I can't wait to get closer to the 200s... I have 39 to go for that!  LOL

I have had easier time already, too, and just love the feeling I get when I don't have to make a big production of those things (no arms, no booths, no high chairs) - I haven't tried bar stools or booths yet - but I will!!   And, when I'm ready, I'll hop up on the one next to you that you are saving me!  Thanks.

That's wonderful!! Glad for your neat NSV!!

Happy New Year!

Congrats! I hope you have many more wonderful discoveries!!

 woohooo!! congrats on ur NSV's  what a wonderful feeling to be able to sit just about anywhere an not worry like we did before... its a ton of weight off our shoulders literally..... hugs.... Happy New Years!!

I'm SO HAPPY for you. I wonder if we will ever take this sort of thing for granted? i hope we all remain a little thankful and extra happy that we can MOVE through the world and FIT into things. I'm down 51 so I'm not seeing big changes yet, but both kids thought I looked a lot better at Christmas. They were really happy for me.

Enjoy your FREEDOM!!! That's a lot of walking you did!

Congrats!!!!  you have been such an inspiration keep those WOWs coming, I for one love to hear them.  I I love that you are out there enjoying life!!!
