And for those that don't wish to go there here is what she said! Hope it's OK I quoted you Kathy!
Yesterday, I participated in a conference at a local hotel. You know how they fill the room with round tables and surround each with 8 or so chairs? That's how it was. Then the room fills up with people, and you realize that you're trapped - there's no way you can squeeze between those chairs and make it to the door! And lunch is a buffet in the hallway outside? How can you carry the food and scrinch between those chairs and make it back to your table? - oh, I'm sorry, uh, excuse me, i apologize, thanks so much, excuse me -
But good news! I have lost 112 pounds. I wasn't trapped at my seat, limiting what I drank, so that I wouldn't have to try to get up between breaks. I found myself searching for a larger way through, and then was forced to take a smaller route anyway. And I fit!! with room to spare!!! WOW!!
I nearly cried when I sat down. Little things mean so much!

Thanks for the shoutout, Yvonne. It was an incredible feeling. Sometimes, you forget what a change has been wrought when you face an old familiar situation, and all you can come up with is an old, familiar response. How wonderful today that I have a new way to respond to those old uncomfortable situations!! Yippee! (AND I am wearing my first pair of size 10 jeans today!)

Let God's presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom
to sing, dance, praise, and love. It is there for each and every one of us.
WTG! Size 10 is awesome! It is all the little things that add up to be really big changes in our lives~ I love it! You go girl! Have a blessed day...Annette
