WOW moment*Crushed:

Good Morning Everyone: Here's my WOW moment...I was in the size 22 jeans and yesterday I got inot size 18 and they are loose....I was so proud...Then I was talking to someone close to me. I told them my WOW moment and I was so proud, and this person said " You'd better start doing neck exercised, you're starting to sag at your neck". It deflated me so bad, I was so proud and feeling really pretty. Now I feel ugly and like something is gross with my neck.... Why would someone say something like that, this person is really close to me and knows how sensitive I can be......I hate feeling fragile...I hope one day after I loose the weight I want to, that I'll be stronger and things people say, won't hurt me any more....Well I'm still happy about the size 18's......Just wanted to share...Have a great day.....Sandi

Sandi I am so sorry you were hurt. Sometimes people say things because they are feeling bad or threatened - it has nothing to do with you. It makes me so that people need to fuel their own ego by saying something hurtful to someone else. You are an inspiration to me to have gotten down to an 18. Just remember that you are helping alot of people like me realize they can achieve their dreams. Way to go. Denise

Thank you Denise: sniff You're so sweet....I feel better already.... Sandi

Sandi, Belive me, You are doing Great and don't you dare let someone else steal, your WOW moments from you. All us Preops are looking to you and others for inspiration, and will be following in your shoes so to speak, so please let you Wow moments sing loud for all of US!! Keep up the GREAT work!! Hugs to you, 1week to go.... Perry W.

Sandi You look wonderful!!! I mean it. I saw you Monday night and thought how young and beautiful you looked. You have a great glow to your skin. I know that people can be mean at times without meaning to be. My sister has said the same thing about my neck starting to sag. I just tell her that it is my reminder from God about how He gave me this great tool to improve my health. I also told her that I wasn't sorry my skin was no longer tight and filled out like a balloon getting ready to burst like hers. Larry BTW If it really bothers you...just save your pennies and when you finish losing your weight go to a plastic surgeon and get a neck lift!

Sandi there is nothing wrong with your neck. I just want to smack some people, then I have to ask for forgiveness. People can be so cruel and sometimes they are the ones that you would think would never do things or say things like that. I don't care how saggy I get. At least I can bend over to tie my shoes and I feel like getting up in the morning to live. You are doing so good. Don't let people rob you of your joy. angie

Sandi, you have done GREAT! You hang on to that good feeling from your WOW moment. The person who made the comment to you may have said it without thinking....unfortunately, people do that. My partner, who KNOWS I am sensitive about my weight, will sometimes say things that hurt my feelings badly and, when I say something about it, she is very contrite and obviously just spoke without thinking. Since it was someone close to you that made the comment, it was probably not intentionally said to hurt your feelings. You just keep doing great, girl. You are an inspiration! Lisa L.

I'm sorry that people don't always think about what they are saying. i've had a few happenings like that myself!!! feel good about all you have done!!!!! and realize that it is very easy for someone else to pick out little faults in you....when if you looked at her she probably has as many or more faults than you....but we don't always point out those faults. i have to run but head up!!!!!! you've done soooo well!!!!!! happy wednesday!! susan

Sandi, That person is just threatened and jealous...I know it's hard to not let it hurt you, but that is about them, not you...you concentrate on the WOW's...I'm jealous

Hi Sandi, It is really sad when someone close to us makes a statement and has no idea the negative impact they have just made on us. You are doing great and keep your focus on the positive and not the poison!!!!! Kudos to you for how well you have done!!!!!! Keep up the good work and believe in yourself and how beautiful you are!!! Pat
