A surprising NSV

We bought an elliptical yesterday, and the salesman surprised me. I'd tried several (at 70% off!!) and chosen a simple one that I felt comfortable with that had a fairly small "footprint" since our house is small. When I came back with Barry to look at it again, then started talking with the salesman, he said,"This one's a good choice for someone your size."

Cue immediate inward bristling, but then he carried on:

"Many of them have too long a stride for a smaller person."

Huh. He was talking about my (lack of) height, not my weight at all.

I'm still not totally used to my weight not being part of decision-making. Although I'm still obese, I now fit anywhere, and other than the electric scooter (the kid kind, not the old lady kind) that I've promised myself if I ever get under the 150# weight limit, my weight doesn't keep me from doing pretty much anything I like. Life is good and getting better.

That's awesome.

Nice!

yes, is going to take a minute before we can get use to make decisions based on our size, I totally can identify with you.

Kelly-Anne, I love this NSV!!!  Congrats and I hope you enjoy your new elliptical!!!!

I'm discovering just how weak I am, Jenn. I can walk just about forever, but my knees are aquiver after only 5 minutes on the elliptical. So - 5 minutes it is. Next week - 6 minutes.

Very cool.  It takes a bit of doing to get used to the idea that we are about the same size as normal people and normal stuff.

When you get there, please post pic of yourself stylin' on that scooter.
