Default I had a really a big big WOW today!!!

I think someone else posted something similar to this and cannot remember who it was. But I am going to post it again becasue this was my big WOW today. Well, first off we were in Bismarck today and we saw the restraunt that they advertise on TV. The name of the restraunt is KROLL"S DINER. So I asked my husband if he would like to eat in there for dinner today becasue we saw it advertised on TV. Sure he said lets try it. Once we got in there, OH MY GOSH, booths everywhere. Only a few chairs with tables. Then to top it off we had to wait to be seated, guess where we got seated in the dreaded BOOTH. First thing that came to my mind, that I am never going to fit in there. Reason why I am saying that is becasue when I was at my heaviest I did not fit, not even close to fitting into any kind of booth. The last time I sat in a booth, it was so thight and had to sit sideways and at the end of the booth. Oh was that embarassing for me. My kids looked at me and I am sure they where thinking how FAT their mom was and could not fit into a simple booth. That was almost 20 years ago when my kids where all young. After that I made sure we sat at a table with chairs. My husband and I literally walked out of a restraunt becasue all that restraunt had was booths. Getting back to me thinking that I am never going to fit into the booth. I stood their and my husband knew exactly what I was thinking and he slide into the booth and then I remembered what one of the girls said here about losing alot of weight and fitting into the booth. So I thought lets give it a shot. You would not believe how nice I fit into the booth and I had even extra room. My stomach did not even touch the table. I looked at my husband and I had the biggest smile on my face and I said WOW, I did not think I was going to fit and I fit so nice in the booth and I said to him "LOOK I FIT AND ROOM TO SPARE. He just smiled at me and I could see his face being so proud of me, Wow what a good feeling that was today!!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

You have done such a wonderful job. Look at your photo timeline, seriously, you look incredible!

Kitty: I am so happy for you. Who would have ever thought that the larger people in life would be so unhappy to face a booth. I can relate! Welcome to you WoW moment and on to the next.

That is a big WOW! I know how it feels to not fit in a booth, I deal with that all the time. I panic if I don't see tables and chairs.

That is great!!! I think most of us dread trying to sit in booths--especially ones that are fixed in place.
