WOW Moments

Ever had one of those moments that makes you say “WOW!”? These OH members did. Congratulations to each of these amazing people who have created change in their lives. We’re so proud of you and your accomplishments!

My big WOW moment happened today. My primary care doctor notified me my A1C levels are normal. My grandmother died from complications associated with diabetes, so it was a day of celebration.

I used to play softball, but I quit when I realized I couldn’t comfortably run the bases anymore. My WOW moment was playing a pick-up game at a company picnic, hitting a long fly ball, and running to 3rd base without a hint of fatigue.

I have met the most amazing woman here on OH. I know this is not a dating/matching site, but God led me to find my soul mate here. Lucy lives in Minnesota. She had RNY in October of 2007. We are engaged to be married on September 27, 2008. She is so awesome! If not for ObesityHelp.com, we would never have met. I wasn’t even looking, and I told my friends that were trying to match-make, “if God wants me to have another woman in my life (after my wife died in 2006) He will put her in my lap,” meaning I wasn’t even interested. Little did I know, He would place her in my “LAPtop!” We have so much in common. Never say never! Thank you, OH!

WOW! I bought a beautiful dress in a way-too-small size two years ago, thinking I could wear it once I lost the weight. Well, I lost so much that the dress is now too big! I never thought I could be so happy that something I loved doesn’t fit.

My best WOW moment (so far) was the day I got out of the shower, grabbed the towel to dry off, and found that it fit ALL the way around me! Not just covering up the most private parts, but actually overlapping and showing no skin between the sides of the towel! I couldn’t believe it! I was on cloud nine at that moment!

I had RNY on October 30, 2007. I have lost 79 pounds so far, and I am feeling great! In the many years that I had been overweight, I always tried to be a good sport and go to the amusement parks with friends, but I usually couldn’t fit in the seat of the really scary rides because of my weight. My family went to Disneyworld and Universal over spring break this year, and this is a picture of me fitting into the seat of a scary rollercoaster! I had no intention of riding it, but I did ride many others with my kids, and it was a monumental WOW moment for me. Thank you! I love your website and I recommend it to all of my friends!

I had my surgery on 7/7/08 and am down 50 pounds. There are WOW moments every day, but when I picked up a tennis racket to lob a few balls to my son, for the first time ever, spontaneously, it blew my mind. When I fell flat on my face going after the first ball, and laughed we both had a WOW moment. Six weeks ago, it would have put me in bed. -Mary Sweeney
