So, every night we read two or three kid books to my daughter before she goes to bed.

When I was at max weight, I'd sit on a chair next to her little toddler bed. Then we moved her into the full-size regular bed her Grandma gave us when they downsized. So for story time, I'd crawl into bed with her and read.

But right now, my inlaws are visiting so we've moved Kiddle back into her toddler bed. And twice now, I've gingerly settled my rear down on the end of it to read her bedtime stories. And it works!! The bed doesn't even creak. (I wouldn't dare plop down, because then I know it would break.)

When I get up, I don't even need to grab the little headboard/footboards to get out. I can do it with just my legs.

It feels so great to do something like this!

Wonderful, Patti!  Those things will continue to happen for us.  Buckling my seat belt this morning, I realized I don't need to open the car door so I can move over to get to the hook-up thingy!  LOL - So many of these things will add up to an easier life!

OMG...that is the best!!!  Isn't it funny how we now appreciate victories that have nothing to do with the silly old scale!! .  I'm so very happy for you.  Enjoy this  and all the NSV's to come!

Thats great Patti.. to think you can now fit in a toddler bed.. lol..

Seriously...I really am happy for you.. that is such a great feeling to find that you can now do things you never dreamed would be possible.. I could not get out of my own bed without pulling on the headboard.. much less out of one that low to the ground.. Kudos girl.. thats a great WOW...

I know you feel great.. ever little wow moment means your one step closer to a healthy life..

huggs..
