The most exciting thing happened yesterday and I became so excited about the rest of my healthy life. I raced my 3 year old son to the mail box and back home. Yes this sounds silly but before there is no way I would have run in public. Yesterday I did it without even a second thought. We used to go on family walks and I would walk behind everyone and watch my husband chase around our kiddos and watch them giggle at him as they chased him down. Now I finally get in on the action. Being overweight I was to scared to go to Disneyland with them because I didn't know if it was safe to ride. I am going to plan a Disneyland trip for Christmas this year and guess what I will be going with my family! It really is the small victories that have made this journey so worth it and that I believe will help to keep me on track in the long run. I am so excited that my kids will hopefully grow up and remember me as being Active part of there childhood, a mom who goes out and helps them practice there new sport and so many more new adventures we will share! NO MORE WATCHING FROM THE SIDELINES FOR ME!

Lol, when I'm having an I feel fat day, I touch my collarbone and remind myself how far I've come!

I know it, I think I do the same thing now that you mention it....and YES, we do have "fat" days. I remember how I'd want to roll my eyes when a thin person would feel fat or have a 'fat day'. I would think "GIVE ME A BREAK"

Now I get it!!!! No matter what size we are, we do have 'off' days when we don't feel up to par and it's ok!!!!

Always feels nice to know we are not going it alone, there are others dealing with the same issues.
