Smallest one at the table?!

I just experienced the most surreal thing last night. I was at a birthday celebration dinner with 10 other people. For the first time in my adult life, I was the SMALLEST person over 18 at the table! Someone else posted recently about looking to see if they were the largest in the room--I used to do that, and I usually always was.

It wasn't until after I saw the group photo afterward last night, that I noticed I was the smallest. In my head, I fit right in. I was also amazed at the amount of food everyone ate, knowing that I used to be right there with them.

I thank God every day for me being able to have my VSG. I hope I never forget how I feel right now, and continue to fight the good fight!

Thanks, one! I mean, everyone in the group were varying degrees of overweight, but still...very weird for me lol

that hits me occasionally when I'm in water aerobics class. Sometimes I, too, am the smallest person there. Totally freaks me out!
