Cyndi:

Seven years ago when I had my bariatric surgery, I weighed 336 pounds, and now 196 pounds lighter. It’s incredible how the little things that people of normal weight take for granted. Like the first time I crossed my legs, I called everybody, and the first person I called, which was my sister, and I am all ecstatic and said, “Oh my gosh, I can cross my legs,” and she was saying, “What are you talking about? Are you okay?”

But my sister has never been heavy in her life, so she doesn’t know how that feels. And it’s such a good feeling to be able to do that again and to be able to put on a pair of skates and roller skate with my children. I am getting really emotional.
