 |  My first ah-ha moment Dec. 8, 2008
I had surgery 2-07, and I finally saw myself thin for the first time on 12-08-08, weird huh? Here's my story: My husband and I went to his work Christmas party and I wore this little black sequent dress about 3" above the knees and very snuggly to the body with my hair pulled up and away from my face. I got many compliments from people, and some didn't even recognize me because they haven't seen me since the surgery. As we were leaving the party, my husband was saying good bye to some of his co-workers and with a little too much to drink he was making sexual comments about his plans for the evening with me. Boy, he's never been that vocal in 23 years. lol Anyways, that wasn't even the kicker, when I came home; I was getting ready for bed, and noticed in the mirror, that for the FIRST time I saw myself as THIN... Couldn't believe how small I looked. I said to myself, "Damn girl, you look good". I just stood there for a few seconds enjoying the view for the first time. I just wanted to share that with you guys. For those of you that haven't received your moment, its coming, and for those that have... Doesn't it FEEL GOOD.

Except for the short dress and the lecherous spouse, I had a similar ah-ha moment a few months back. Gotta love this journey!!

Vanessa- that is a great story. It does seem to take a while for our brains to catch up with our bodies. I was at my daughters gymnastics and saw a reflection in the glass and I was trying to see who it was.....and it was me! I didn't recognize that it was me since I am still not used to my size! LOL Maybe one day I will look in the mirror and like you say "Damn, girl, you look good!"
