My first WOW moment

I was going to wait until I lost a 100 lbs before my first WOW moment but I was going through my old clothes that haven't fit forever. I came across an old sweetshirt that I recieved from work 12 years ago (I know its terrible to keep old clothes around waiting to be able to fit in) but it fit with plenty of room to spare, it just made my day.

Excellent work to get that result!  Do you feel more energetic now that you can wear a sweatshirt that hasn't fit in 12 years?  I would bet that the wows will just start piling up for you now that you had your first one!

That's AWESOME!!!  (I love your typo - "sweetshirt"!! )  I hope it's not too old to be able to wear it to work -  I know I could barely even FIT in any Park District clothing until post-WLS!

But I'm going to make an observation here, too.  I'm thinking you are in "WOW denial" if you think that was your FIRST wow - Who said you had to wait until you'd lost 100?  (I know, YOU did.)  Well mister, I think you need to trash that notion, and embrace EVERY SINGLE WOW you can!  They don't have to be big, they don't even have to elicit a "WOW" from your lips - they only need to bring a smile to your face, knowing it wouldn't have happened without WLS... 

YOU ROCK!!!!

That's a very cool WOW and there will be many more.  I'm happy for you!

Well of course it fit - and loosely - because you are the magical shrinking man!!! :) :) :)
