WOW moment in my car!!

It was SO cool!!! I was driving to work today and I dropped my cell phone - and I was able to bend forward and pick it up!!! Normally something dropping to the floor of the car meant not retrieving it until I reached my destination and could get out of the car and bend over and get it - but today I actually could bend forward in my seat and reach the phone!!!!! (of course this was done once I was stopped at a red light!) I love it!!!! Much love, Carol V

How Cool Carol!!! Keep up the good work!! Steff I love being able to reach things too!! especially in the car

What a cool WOW moment. Congratulations on your progress! Kay

carol, GOOD FOR YOU! Its the little things that are going to amaze us, I'm sure. (like reaching places we never reached before) take care willby PS: I had a "WOW" moment in a car one time..............and then got a surprise from the stork 9 months later...............go figure!!

Willby you always manage to make me chuckle with your posts!

Good for you Carol! It is always so exciting to read about WOW's I cant wait to start posting some myself!

Carol, I've been reading "Exodus From Obesity: The guide to long-term success after WLS." In that book, the author makes a suggestion that we keep track of these types of wow moments. Hope you will and are journaling somewhere! Other things are: when I could first cross my legs, when I could tie my shoes without putting my leg up on the bed next to me...stuff like that. Congrats and keep celebrating these small victories! Lori 384/274/170

hi carol: that is such an awesome feeling, isn't it. i can relate to the prior solution - waiting until i could get up out of the car and retrieve. thanks for sharing your wow moment with all of us. they're always a great read. have a good week. dorthe

Go carol, go!!!!!!

CAROL>>>That is definitely a GREAT WOW moment. I do the foot thing I try to slide whatever I dropped over to the middle of the car and try to get it from that angle. If it falls in front of me, forget it, it's lost forever if the foot thing doesn't work. It's soooo embarrassing having my hubby watch me. I started keeping my purse between us on the floor because I just can't bend down in front of me to get into it anymore. You know what else I've started doing? The side mirrors are pointed right at me so I can see myself in them and what I look like to the people driving beside me so I spend most of my time rearranging my shirt trying to hide rolls and propping up my arm so you can see the chubby elbows. It's almost a chore! I can't wait to be on the losing side!! CONGRATULATIONS on your WOW moment Carol!!! {{{{{HUGS}}}}} Jamie
