Yay a wow moment

So I am about four months out and have had a few wow moments but since I started this journey out heavier then some I havent had too many. Well I noticed about a month ago my wedding rings were getting loose, didn't think too much of it, until I was doing laundry this weekend and looked down and they had fallen in the washing machine! ACK!! So I found them and put them in my jewelry box. Hubby and I went to Walmart today  and normally I wear a size 10 ring, so I was thinking I would go down a size to a 9 and it would be all good. Well low and behold I tried the sizer rings on and I can wear an 8, now let me tell you I am one happy puppy, I haven't worn a size 8 ring since junior high school. Thanks for letting me share my little wow moment and everyone keep up the good work!!!

That is so great!  Remember -- no WOW moment is "little!"  Each and every one is an accomplishment and should be celebrated!  CONGRATULATIONS...it sure feels good, doesn't it?  ;) Take care, Cindy

Karen- THAT'S GREAT!  It's such a great feeling when these WOW moments come to us, isn't it.  BUT...I suspect that there have been several that you've missed.  For example...if you can walk up the stairs without gasping for air, or walk into the closet without issue...those are WOW moments.  Heck...making good choices is a WOW moment, becuae it means that your thought process is changing.   SO....make sure that you recognize them and tell us, cause we just LOVE those WOW moments!
