Magic Moments
Ah, those magical little discoveries or celebrations along the weight loss journey that demonstrate to us how far we have come. Often these "magic moments" are events that non-obese people simply cannot relate to or truly appreciate. The following are some of the Magic Moments members have shared during meetings over the years. If you have been in their shoes, you will understand the "magic" of these moments. Bring yours to our next meeting or e-mail them so we can add to this list. Enjoy!
