OK, I am stealing this topic from another site's board, but here goes. Share a moment during your weight loss that made you say to yourself - wow. I had one this last weekend. My wife and I love to go to Dallas Stars hockey games. I have a Star's jersey that I haven't worn in several years. I was trying on some older, smaller clothes this last weekend and low and behold, my jersey fits very nicely again! I almost teared up as I thought to myself that I was getting my life back. It inspired me to keep up the good fight and not go back.

I cried when my husband went to hug me and when his arms wrapped around me they were able to reach the opposite sides. It was a major feeling for me, and I love his hugs more than ever now.

When I first went to try on pants at a regular store. I picked out the bigger size (not a big men's size, mind you) and they were too big!

I was buying clothes for a regular person!

My biggest wow moment is going clothes shopping and not hating the way I look in my clothes!

Also, when I see my reflection in a mirror or window, I am no longer disgusted.

When I lay on my back I can actually see my ribs. wasn't sure I had them, now I'm sure!

For me it was being able to cross my legs, also climbing a hill I used to sruggle with without stopping !!!

My biggest WoW moment happened last night.

Since my husband and I met, I have wanted to sit on his lap, hug my arms around him and lay my head on his shoulder. We were both morbidly obese when we met, so even the act of sitting on his lap wasn't possible - well not with any comfort.

We were out on our patio last night, he was sitting on a chair with his legs stretched out on an ottoman, and without thinking I just stepped over his legs and sat down. We were talking and stuff, still hadn't really hit me that I was on his lap. He said something that made me smile and I hugged him, and then it hit me. I hugged my arms around him, hid my face in his neck and had a good cry while he held me on his lap. There'll never be a bigger WoW for me.

Rob swears that this will be his wow moment in all of this. He constantly tells me he can't wait for me to be able to sit in his lap and cuddle. I agree with him.

I can sit in my wife's lap now, without making her scream in crushing terror.

Paul!!! TOO Funny. ROFLOL

So my DH and I have both been banded and we are loosing weight so quick that the otherday we actually did a 69...:embarassed: .. We were so happy we acomplished this that now we want to do it every night. Did not mean to emabarrass anyone although I am sitting her red faced

I went to a family function this last weekend and I had not seen one of my cousins since my surgery. Well when I walked up he said oh my gosh I didnt know who was walking up until you got close enough for me to see your face. I thought wow. I cant believe I look that different. I loved it!

I went to a place where we get parts for the farm machinery,I had not been there since my surgery. I walked in and the boss looked at me and his eyes got big and he said (loud enough for everybody to hear), My hell if you get any smaller the wind will blow you away. Caught me off guard but made my day. Told DH that I would go for parts at that place any day. lol
