we have a nice dodge durango..but for the last year or so, it was hard for me drive it....i am short so i have to scoot my seat up to the steering wheel...and my belly/girth would not let me get near the steering wheel so i had to scoot the seat back and

then i couldnt reach the pedals...but i could drive it without the seat belt and so if i did drive it, it was to the walgreens near my house and it was not very often let me tell you.

so today, my car that i drive to work (didnt start as hub said we need a new battery)

so i had to drive the durango....i was nervous because i knew i could not wear the seat belt.

i got in *prepared for the worst* and scooted the seat up to where my feet would reach and pulled the seat belt and snapped that sucker in.. i felt like a normal person..instead of the usual fat lady.

so that is my little success...nothing major....but i drove to work in my truck with my seat belt on and it fit comfortably and not cutting off my circulation....another sign that i am going in the right direction.

hope you are too.

wow what a great feeling you have done a great job .

Great jog CG! Here's hoping for many more NOT SO SILLY success stories!

Love your silly success stories! This is a good one. Keep them coming!

Picturing you with your nose to the steering wheel and your short little legs dangling over the seat is priceless.

hub wants to get me a yellow phone book so i can see over top HAHAHA

But that just makes it further to the pedals! Is he going to raise them?
