Lets see my biggest wows. in the past 2 years and 3 months Being able to ride a horse again (that was the biggest killer for me) going from a 30/32W pant to a 10 regular 30/32w shirt to a large (I have a large upper body frame) people not reconizing me. making goal buying regular sized clothes feeling normal...whatever normal might be

Right now, I'm reveling in my level of fitness. . . Building a muscular frame underneath all of this skin, Outlasting the "skinny *****es" in aerobics classes, Prepping for races and realizing that people see me as competition. . .if only they knew. I've always been contentious, but for the first time, I can be open about how much I want to squash others. . .  Oddly enough, I'm a pacifist in all other aspects of my life.

RNY on 12/20/05 with

so many wow moments for me it's been great.. but a few are..

my physical endurance, i never thought i would be able to run a 5K. and i never run out of energy while out playing any kinda sports with my friends

being teased by my friends for being skinny, feels kinda weird and cool at the same time

shopping again in normal stores, now do i not only shop in normal stores, but i am down to some pretty small sizes. 52 pants b4 vs. 34 now. 4xl shirt b4 vs. Large now, even own a couple of mediums. Just walking around and having confidence in myself and know people aren't staring at the fat guy anymore. and if a girl is looking, it's not cause i'm a really huge fat man.
