Wow moment!

I went back to the dentist yesterday for my permanent bridges/veneers. While there and sitting patiently in the chair waiting for the dentist, his assistant came in and picked up my purse and handed it to me telling me she needed my pictures. She knows I carry my "before" pics with me. About 2 minutes later she came back in with my dr's wife and another lady who is new to the clinic. She said, "They didn't believe these pictures were you." I assured them that the pictures were most certainly of me 15 months ago and they just stood there looking at me with their mouths hanging open. They both told me that they would never have recognized me from the pictures. I feel like a butterfly who has been released from it's cocoon! Every day is a new blessing.

That is wondefrful. You do look great. Ellen

Nothing like a little ego boost to make your day! I hope to have that feeling someday, until then I will live through all of you guys. Kim

Thank you girls! Your day will come too, I just know it!! I just love the expressions on people's faces. What gets me is so many people who knew me fat but have not seen me in quite a while will often make the comment "I never realized you were that big" when told how much I have lost. That's because I was invisible when I weighed 287 pounds.

That is so cool! I'm so happy for you and I know you just keep haviing reasons to show those pearly whites off!

Hi Susan, isn't life grand during those wow moments. I met a new guy yesterday and he couldn't believe the pictures of before when I was 299 and the new me at 120 were the same person. Especially since I don't have that much excess skin. He was blown away. Calls me sexy now. JUst keep wowing them. We need all the ego boosting we can get. Love ya, Kathy
