So, I went to give blood today and had a GREAT NSV....they didn't have to use the big cuff! THEN I had to get up on a table to give blood and I hopped right up, no problem. As if that wasn't good enough, they asked me my weight after I was already in the room laying on the table and I said "250.2 pounds" loud and proud. I didn't feel ashamed at all because of all the NSVs and the fact I used to never utter my old weight (285) to anyone, not even myself. Both of those felt so good that at the canteen afterwards I chose bottled water and Goldfish pretzels instead of juice and a cookie. Heehee!

    No way! I just got home from donating blood! :) When she asked me my weight I looked at the door and wished it could've been a bit more open so everyone sitting near the door could hear me! hahah
