I have to preface the WOW moment, which has to do with my DH, by saying that my DH is not a gusher nor is he a comlimenter. He is, however, my chief cheerleader.

Now, here was the dialog that occurred that resulted in the WOW moment:

ME: Glen, I want you to tell me the truth - I want to know how I look to other people. So put your mind in the perspective of someone just meeting me, and tell me this: Do I look like a THIN person, or do I look like someone who could lose 10 lbs?

DH: <being thoughtful, not saying anything at first, and then...> If you were 30 I would say you could lose another 10 lbs. You aren't 30, Claire, you are THIN ENOUGH!

Oh my gosh! This from the man who once said he could sit a mug of coffee on my A$$ while I was standing! He said that of course, after I had lost a lot of weight, and I thought it was very funny at the time (he wouldn't have said it in a hurtful way pre-op).

Hearing "THIN ENOUGH" coming out of HIS mouth was the biggest WOW moment I have had regarding weight loss through this journey!

I will go forth and lose the 6 lbs left to lose. I don't care how long it takes, but I will lose it. It's unfinished business, and I want to go to completion.

But knowing I have reached "thin enough" for my husband is a definite WOW for meeeeeee!!!!!!
