Hi guys
I just had a moment where I just about burst out in tears - I think of happiness - yes.....it was happiness and pride.
I went to the shop that sells stand up paddle boards because I want to get one of these before the summer is out. They come in different lengths and widths and the size you get largely depends on your size/weight. So I am looking at them and the sales lady is telling me the different sizes of them - she looks at me, points out the smaller boards than what I was expecting and says 'these boards here are good for normal size people' - OMG!!!! I could hardly contain my happiness and not reach out and hug her!!!!
ME - a normal size person again!!!!!!!!!!!! (still have a bit to go but at least I am not standing out to people as having a huge weight problem)
:happy:
