OMG Seriously?!?!?

Hi everyone. Ok let me just get to the point before i BURST! As most know who has kids, today is the last day of there sumer vacation so I decided to make it as fun as possible for them. So I got up this morning, and I looked at my kids and go, get dressed, we're are going to the park to have some fun. Well I was thinking that I would take them there and let them play on the playground while I walked the track a few times. So anyways I get there with them and i'm looking at this ladder they have to climb to get on there and the slides. I for some reason,( which I have no idea why) I just went up to the ladder and started climbing it! I was like OMG am I really doing this?!?!? So i get up on the top and im looking at the slides. My kids are just staring at me lol. They never thought I would even climb the ladder to get to where they are lol. Anyways, im looking at these slides and for some reason I take my shoes off and i just go down one of the slides! All I was thinking was, Ok now if I get stuck, they are going to have to call the fire department or something to get me out of this thing lol. Well, I actually fit in the hole thingy to go down the slide! I was laughing so hard and having such a fun time with the kids I didn't even realize that it had gotten really dark and a storm was coming lol. Well eventually i did notice and it started raining. Me and the kids were laughing walking home in the rain. We had such a fun time! I still can not believe I actually went down a slide. My goodness, it has been about 18 years since I even went down one.
Today in my mind, it was the kids day. Have fun and just be kids. Little did I know that I was going to have one of the biggest wow moments yet. OH! and I am happy to report that ALL of my clothes are way too big for me lol. I started off this journey over a year ago in a size 28-30. TODAY I am in a size 18!!!!!! OMG, I am so happy its ridiculous!! 

You go girl. I am so happy for you, and I know your family is loving the new and improved you. When I reached a resonable goal my kids wanted me to go on go-carts with them. I know how freeing that is to fit into things you used to stand on the sidelines and watch.
It is so wonderful to hear you are reaching what you were destined to be. As a mom I know how important it is that our kids are happy and healthy and how easy it is to forget about caring for ourselves. Keep up the good work.
And oh I am sooo jealous, we have been in school for two weeks now, three weeks for the employees. I am ready for summer break again LOL!!!!!!!

This is what it is all about this is why you made the choice to get your life back through WLS
Life is wonderful.

Reading your story made me happy for you. The last part about walking home in the rain brought back memories of when I was a kid. I think that's what life is all about.

Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger
Work it harder

More than ever Hour after
Our work is never over


Not quite sure what Daft Punk meant by these lyrics, but I know what they mean to me--- 

Congratulations!!!

I had a similar experience when I went and played on a swingset at a local park and slid on the slides. It was like being a little kid again. 

I'm sure that your kids had as much fun as you did and this will be one of many more happy family memories that they will have with you.
