Yeah Dee, I know exactly what you're talking about. I too have had some of those "magic" moments when you discover something that lets you know you're really getting smaller. For me, a couple of them has been:

1. I could actually bend over and get a rod from the rod locker in my boat without having to get down on my knees.

2. Getting in and out of the boat was suddenly not a big chore.

3. I could actually see the trolling motor pedal, as I sat in the fishing chair and operated it.

4. I was walking up the stairs with an armload of stuff, and my pants fell down around my ankles.

5. When I discovered in the shower that I could suddenly reach places that I hadn't reached in a long time.

6. This morning when I had to take up another notch on my belt.

7. The other day, when I was able to drive my daughter's Mustang convertible, and it didn't take 3 men and a small dog to pull me out.

8. Tossing and turning in bed at night is not a major workout.

9. The steering wheel on the van is not wearing a groove in all of my shirts.


It's great to be getting thinner!!
