F.A.R.T.S.

I never really have posted my FARTS, but so many things have happened since surgery, I want to share:
- Went under 300 lbs after weighing this morning! Scale was 297!! What a freakin thrill for me, since I never imagined I could be under 400 lbs at one time, much less 300. Haven't weighed under 300 lbs for 20 years or more.
- Went to Taco Bell a couple of weeks ago where my daughter works, and I actually sat in a booth. My daughter came out to the lobby, saw me, and flashed her heart-melting smile, and said "Your sitting in a booth!" She is 18 and has never seen me sitting in a booth. She told my son, who is 25, and he made the same comment -- that he has never seen me in a booth.
- Bought my first shirt from WalMart.
- My wife is so tired of still seeing me in my 6x shirts, that she took me out and bought me some clothes. Have gone from a 6x to 3x shirt; from a 64" pant to a 54"; got a 2x sweater.
- Don't need seat belt extenders in our cars anymore, and my stomach doesn't touch the steering wheel.

Mike,
Every single one of these is fart-worthy and felt by a lot of us. I am glad you are getting to feel them now.

The best part is that you can just keep stacking up your accomplishments. I will admit that the entire world is more of an open book to me than it was 2 years ago before I had my surgery. When I went under the 300 line, I really noticed it being easier to get more active too!

It's amazing because these are all things taken for granted by most people but we all know how big they are to us when we went through them.

Congratulations to you and I look forward to hearing more of your milestones and accomplishments!
