I have to tell you of my chair scooting episode tonight at my meeting! Here I am sitting in this loungy chair (loungy = comfy, sink in kinda chair :)) at my meeting and we have to make room for another loungy chair... I go to move all my stuff off my lap so I can scoot over, and the young fella sitting in a non-loungy chair pops up and says "wait! I just push you over!" and I freak! The old me, the 322 + pound me, was still sitting there and thinking "No way in hell hes going to be able to move my big ass and then i'm going to be so embarrassed!" But as I'm freaking out, he pops up, shoves me, loungy chair and all my stuff over and says "no problem! Its not like your heavy or anything!" OMG! Me.... NOT HEAVY!?! When did that happen? I smiled thru the rest of the meeting, living over and over again how easily he just shoved me and my loungy chair over Ok... NOW i can go to bed!
Love your posts!
Congrats skinny girl! What a great NSV
Can't wait until that happens to me, but seeing what a low self esteem I have I'd probably end up checking the bottom of the chair to see if it had those little furniture mover discs on them..LOL
It takes a lot longer for our brains to catch up with our bodies with this much change.
Thanks for sharing, and well done!
