Why did I get so upset?

One of the things that I notice more than anything now is overweight people struggling to walk or get in their cars....I want to run up and say "Hey, I have the answer". I know that I can't. I know what I would have done if someone did that to me when I was overweight. Yesterday, I had the weirdest thing happen. My team from work was out of town doing a "TEAMBUILDING" and we were at lunch. I was looking out the window and saw this REALLY OBESE lady standing in front of the window leaning up against a poll resting and I started to cry. My team thought I was NUTS. My friend sitting next to me must have seen the lady out the window too and said "She is just have a THANK YOU" moment. Several of the team members went "WHAT??" and she said (Thank Goodness she did, cause by this time I was BALLIN' LIKE A BABY) "Sharon has just been reminded what her life was like this time last year and is Thankful for what it is now". Why did I get so upset this time? I have seen lots of people who are overweight or OBESE in the last year. I have thought to myself many times, I wonder if they know about WLS....Why this time? And Yes, I am truly grateful for WLS and what it has done for me and my family.
