Completely Excited!!

I will start today with a side note from yesterday's blog.  I was discussing it with my family when my son told me that two of  his friends told him that he was, "the best looking fat guy they knew".  Irritating!  Why, oh why must there be a qualifer?  Why can't he just be called a good looking guy?  If anyone knows the answer please comment and let me know. 

Well, I have just met a MAJOR goal in my weight loss journey!  Today I was able to bend over, put on my socks and shoes and then tie them ALL BY MYSELF!!  WOOO HOOO!!  Ok for all of you who may be wondering why this is such a major milestone, in other words all you skinny folks, I will explain.  For about 10 years now I have been too overweight to reach my feet.  To put on shoes and tie them I had to sit down and bring my leg up beside me to do so and even then there have been times that I have still not been able to reach them.  I think as happy as I am my dear wonderful husband is even happier so he won't have to help me anymore!  Being severely overweight definitely hinders independence in a person.  There have been many things that I have not been able to reach, some of them I would never dare to write on my blog...I will leave that to your imagination, let's just say there is an animated movie out there called, "meet the robinsons" and on this movie there is a dinosaur who is trying to catch these children but he cannot reach them because, as he says, "i've got a great big head and little bitty arms", well my situation is similar, "i've got a great big butt and little bitty arms"!!!  'Nough said about that!  I have decided that when I reach 40 lbs lost I will post a new picture, so hopefully that will be any day now, who knows maybe even on Monday.  Gotta go for now, going to get my groove on at a local dance club (family oriented country). 

Hey how do you like the new background?  I love it, what do you think?  Let me know.  Also, post your weight loss if you are working with me!!!
