My first Eureka! Moment
Somewhere along the way I had my first eureka! moment. Any of you who are really BIG BLOBS, like I am, will relate.
At my biggest I had problems putting on any shoes that had to be tied or buckled. If I sat down and bent over to put the shoes on, I would literally gag. I would not be able to breathe. If I knelt down to put my shoes on and tie or buckle them, I could barely get up. I would have to leverage myself up using the wall or by grabbing onto something.
I could NOT possibly bend over and put my shoes on. Impossible. I could not lift a foot up onto a chair to tie my laces. Impossible.
If I went to someone’s place I would be very careful to only wear slip on shoes otherwise it would be too embarrassing.
Then one day … TA DA …
I realized that I had just put my runners on. Easily.
I could actually lift my foot up onto a bench and tie the laces. I could actually BEND over and untie my shoes. I could bend over and NOT gag. I could kneel down and get up again without hanging onto a wall or leveraging off of a chair.
EUREKA!!!!
Awesome!
I went out for a walk to celebrate. Image walking to celebrate! … I used to celebrate with a big slab of chocolate! Giggle. TWO levels of progress!!
