Wow Moment....
I've had a few, but never shared them with my OH family, and since I've just recently found this board, which is now "MY" main msg. board, I thought I would share this wow moment with you....
Well the first wow moment was on the 8th of this month, I took my mom to Oakland, Ca to see a play by Tyler Perry {Madea Goes To Jail}; it was hilarious, and I'm sooooo glad I got a chance to see it live, I've never seen a play live, back to the wow! moment, the last time I was at the Paramount Theatre, I couldnt "FIT" in the seats, I was very very uncomfortable, I was so afraid that the same thing was going to happen, my daughter kept telling me "mom, you'll be okay, you'll see, you'll fit" and guess what, I did! my mother was so proud of me, but most of all I was so proud of me....
The next wow moment was when I was able to put on a pair of jeans, I havent had on in a very long while and they just slipped right on, without me having to struggle, I was quite impressed with myself....
And today was like the biggest wow moment, yet! there was a formal luncheon at work today, so everyone had to dress up in business appropriate attire, now keep in mind even tho' I work in a medical enviroment, the office is sooooooo laid back, that I just wear causual clothes all week long, jeans etc. {never sweats}; so anyway I kept thinking to myself, I have so many many clothes in my closet still with tags on them, and things I havent worn in ages because I couldnt fit them, so looked in my closet this morning and decided to wear a business suit I have had for ages, the only person that has ever worn it was my sister in law, and that was right after I got it, about 3+ yrs. ago, its a navy blue skirt with a matching jacket, and I have a nice blouse to go with it, OMG! I put it on this morning with panty hose and a spandex type girdle {just in case}; and guess what I didnt even need the girdle, the suit is a size 26 and its practically falling off of me, I cannot believe it, I have been wanting to wear this suit for so long, and used to look at it and dream of how I would look in it, and today was my chance, I look awesome, and for the first time since my surgery, I CAN REALLY SEE THE WEIGHT LOSS, I am so pleased with myself, now I cant wait to attack the rest of my closet, oh yeah! did I mention that the skirt is lined, woo hoo 86 pounds or more ago {I havent weighed in about 3 weeks}; that woulda been unheard of, but now, the skies the limit.....
Plus I got so many compliments from my co-workers, the Dr's and everyone else, my cheeks must be bursting because I cant stop smiling, THANK YOU GOD FOR ASSISTING ME TO COME TO MY SENSES AND GET THIS SURGERY, THANK YOU! -- THANK YOU ALSO FOR MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND MOST OF ALL FOR MY OH FAMILY/FRIENDS, WHOM UNDERSTAND MY PLIGHT MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE......
Well that's it for now....
Lorraine,
It's as good as yours, you know something I was just reading your profile yesterday, you are amazing, and so is your family, and I wish you the very best, from the bottom of my heart.....
Let's keep in touch, since were fairly close to eachother {geographically speaking}; anything I can do to help I will definately do it, unfortunately I dont drive {that will be changing soon}; but I'm as close as an email, or a phone call....
God Bless
