Happy Thanksgiving OH Family! 😙
Nov 27, 2014
Thanksgiving is a time where people come together to give Thanks for all the many wonderful things life has granted them. We spend so much time wondering and grieving what we think we have lost throughout the year that we fail to make Everyday a Day of Thanksgiving! We as WLS family members know the struggles that we deal with personally as well as the external struggles we must face everyday. Struggles such as not eating how or what we use to and then having to offer an explanation to prying and seemingly well meaning individuals who encourage us to eat "just a little bit more" or make us feel as though somehow our New and Improved lifestyles are "unhealthy". Take it from me and I mean it when I say, I am so very PROUD of not only myself but each and every member of the WLS community that has taken this journey. I have questioned myself, cried a river of tears and doubted whether or not I made the right decision. I am Thankful and Happy that God made a way for me to receive this new gift. This beautiful gift of life! To all of those who are struggling today I would like to leave you with a few words of encouragement. In the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. "You must keep moving!" Tina Knowles Beyonce mother and the creative visionary for Destinys Child spoke recently at an Enpowerment Conference and her words touched my soul. "Remember when youre going through it... thats all it is... Going THROUGH it!... You are not going to get stuck there... you're not going to die! Just keep moving!" I adore and love each and every one of you and praying for your success on this incredible journey. Be Well and Take Care of yourselves. Happy Holidays!
