WOW! 2 WOWS in 1 Week!!!

Hello strangers!!! LOL!!!! I have to share that I have experienced not one, but two WOW MOMENTS in a weeks time, which is all new to me because I havent had any of those in a few years. 1st~ Was earlier in the week, I had to buy a formal gown to wear to my Pure Romance annual convention, and I found this amazing dress (which I will share pics of later) that was just a little big in the breast area, and way to long, so I bought it and took it in for alterations. While at the alterations shop the owner has me go in and put the dress on and come out while she is finishing up with another customer. So I do, and I walk out and all three ladies in the shop put there hands over their chest and make a gasping sound. So I said "ok, is that a bad gasp, or a good one?" Because the gown is watermelon red and VERY form fitting. Something I have not worn since I had my son in 10/05. They all three start gushing over how my body is too die for, and how my curves are so beautiful and perfect. That totally made my week, since I have been trying very hard this year to get the 40 pounds I gained during pregnancy off, and so far I have lost 20 of it. 2nd~ Last night I did a Pure Romance party and one of the guest that attended was a friend of a friend that I have not seen since I initally had WLS. She went on & on about how great I looked, and how amazed she was that my energy was so positive and through the roof. She said that I just glowed with beauty and radiance from the inside out. After she left, a few of her coworkers were telling me that she went on & on all night about how beautiful I was, and that she couldnt believe how much weight I had lost. She told them that back in the day when I was heavier, I always seemed akward about going out, and that I had very low self-confidence, and that she was completely blown away with how happy I am, how "skinny" I was ( I weight 170lbs currently) and how happy she was for me to see that coming from me. She said that my life must be great now, because I was nothing like the girls she remebered, in a more positive light. It really gave me something to ponder over. I am still thakfull that I was blessed with this gift, and I am even more thankfull that people can see and tell how much more happier I am in life. My health is great!!!! My marriage is STRONGER than ever, my children are AMAZING!!!! And to top it all off, Business is BOOMING!!!! Life is GRAND!!!!

Hello My dear old friend.... How are you doing??? I sure miss you! Isn't it wonderful to still get the reaffirmations about our choices. Congrates on getting of the baby weight, that can be very tough. Your new avatar is hilarious. Take care----Toni

Hi Sandy, Read your bio. An absolutely terrific experience. You should be very proud. I, though, do not think your picture suits your new frame. I'm not one for seeing a person stick their tongue out in a portrait setting. Sorry, but you are much prettier when just smiling. You've done a wonderful job. Keep up the good work on yourself, but I would say (personally), lose the tongue picture. Marilyn
