Guest guest Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 I was major house cleaning today and had a silly magic moment. As most of you know Im SHORT(4'10.5 " ). Well anyway, I was washing walls and pictures etc. I couldnt reach one so I actually climbed up on top of my entertainment center, without a second thought!! My husband came in and said OMG, what are you doing?! I bet you havent climbed like that since you were 12. I never would have considered doing it before...I would have worried that it wouldnt hold me!! Today I didnt even think about it and it was'nt a challenge...I just hopped up there!! I know its silly, but it felt sooooo good!! Huggles 315...starting weight 283...pre op weight 150...current weight 135...goal weight( 60 cubes!)

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 , that’s not silly at all – it’s fabulous! It’s so important to celebrate ALL the milestones, big and small. Even if we think they’re small, there’s usually someone in the group who can relate, and someone who benefits from hearing it as something to look forward to! Your post made me realize that I also had a similar milestone that I didn’t even recognize as a milestone until I read your post! My husband and I were painting and I had to climb on some furniture to reach part of the wall…something I would not have been able to do 97 lbs ago!!! Thanks for helping me recognize this milestone in my life, too, and congratulations on yours! - Lesa - Magic Moment I was major house cleaning today and had a silly magic moment.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Hi , I don't think it was silly. Actually, the part that I liked the best is that you did it without a second thought. I've had a few of those moments - they are wonderful because they seem to indicate that I am starting to accept that I am a " regular " person. When we went to the theater recently and it wasn't until later that I realized I had never questioned whether or not I'd be able to get my butt in the seat was one of those moments. So much fun!
