Happy Fourth

Well everyone in my group that I usually hang out with has called and told me how much they miss me . It's about 9:40 and I hear the fire crackers banging and the noises that the pretty ones make as they go up and explode. This has been the first 4th that DBF hasn't went out and spent a bunch of money on fireworks to watch the kids fire. I am a little sad thats why I am here now. I know in the long run it'll be great that I made this decision to stay home but right now I wish I were there saying oooooooooo and awwwww as the beautiful  rays of light stream the sky. I didn't want the kids to ruin their 4th so they are at my sisters house having the 4th with her. They have called o check on me about every hour then I finally had to tell them to stop worrying about me and go have a good time.  I just keep telling myself this time next year you'll be sitting out under the stars watching the kids light the big works and maybe JUST maybe you'll want to get up and light a few of them yourself just because you can. Next year I should be down enough that if I want to get out there with the kids I can. So, there is a new goal for me to get out there with my kids next year and set off a few fireworks with them. That'll be an awesome day huh????? Definitely worth giving up this 4th for!!!!!! Be safe see y'all later Hugs Chelle

you bet and next year you will be able to run after you light them and laugh and have a ball. so just wait till next year. It will be great. Jan

Chelle, It is so worth missing one or two "special" occasions when you know the rest of your life is going to be so much better.  I was on the liquid diet from December 12 and missed all the Christmas party eating and it was really no big deal in the grand scheme of life.  I am so much happier and healthier and like myself so much more - and by next Christmas I'll be able to have a bite of those things and it will be enough!!!  That's the amazing thing, a taste is ENOUGH!!!  Wow, what a concept.  It's definitely something I can LIVE with.  Keep that chin up, you can do this and you are soooooo worth it.
