This is an on-going WOW moment for me. Everytime I do laundry, and I fold my jeans to hang them up, I feel like I'm folding some kids pants. I hang them on those little childrens hangers because they just slide around on the big ones. I like to hang my jeans rather than put them in a drawer. I remember when My jeans were three feet wide when I'd hold them up to fold them, I'd do it really fast, so as not to hold them flat too long, even if I was alone, it would embarrass me, because they were sooo wide. So this is something I still have trouble wrapping my head around, that I can fit into those little jeans. Size 4. Your head takes a really long time to accept the fact that your no longer overweight. I still pass myself in reflections and do a double-take. Then on the other hand, I will run across a picture of me overweight and it just seems like so long ago. My kids say they have gotten so used to me being thin that they hardly remember me being overweight. Especially my son. He is 30, and remembers me small, before putting on the weight, so to him, he just got his Mom back. I just wish I could have had it done at a younger age to have saved some of the damage that was done to my back from lifting patients, and being obese myself. I spent my prime, my 30's and 40's very obese and unable to do much of anything, and frankly, not wanting to. I was a shut-in, who want's to go hiking when your over 100# overweight right? Who want's to go swimming? Right? Camping? unh unh! Not I! Anyway. These were my thoughts this morning and just wanted to share. I sure wish I knew where all my friends went. I never hear from anyone. Miss them all alot.Blessings to old and new losers!!
