Default Wow moment-UPDATED

Ok so like 4 or 5 years ago I bought some leather boots that came right below the knee. I ordered them online and when they came in the mail I tried them and they didn't fit. I could get my foot in with the zipper all the way down to the base of the boot, but couldn't move it an inch up after I got my foot in. I was really bummed but I kept them and I was determined that one day they would fit! I have tried them on 3 or 4 times after I had WLS and every time I was able to get them up a little farther but have never been able to get it more than a quarter of the way up. Well today I tried again and they FIT! OMG major wow moment for me. I know it may seem weird but I have always thought I had huge legs and this is a real visual for me that I am losing weight EVERYWHERE! Whoo hoo I am so happy!

Ok you asked for a pic of me in the boots so here it is (updated 9-13-06)

That's so great Holly! I've avoided boots like the plague for that very reason!

Congrats Holly. Hearing all these stories about the WOW moments and shoes is making me realize how fat my feet have gotten over these pass 2 months. I am hoping once my bundle of joy is born I will have a WOW moment with getting my toes in some pretty shoes. Holly now you know you have to take pictures of such a WOW moment.
