It's my day, and what have I got? A big sad face

It's my day, and what have I got? A big sad face.

Today is my seven year anniversary of my weight loss surgery.  *mini confetti party*  I made it.  (Post later.)

I'm walking in the Walk From Obesity on April 30th, that's 25 days away.  

I've got a team that is "this big."  I've got donations that are "this small."  I have a very sad.  

Last year I raised almost $2500.00 for the Walk.  (Also, the year before...etc.)

I just raised the equivalent of about $3000.00 in memberships for the OAC's Membership Drive last week.

I'm not doing too hot here.  

Don't make me sweat for no cause, kids. I don't sweat on purpose for ANY reason.  You don't think I am serious, I am.  *grin*  Add to that, I'm going to be sweating by myself, with my boo-boo.  *tear.

Please join me?  If you are local enough TO MASSACHUSETTS - do it.  If not - donate.

Wanna talk about sad faces, I went to pick up my son in my hometown last night to take him to dinner to celebrate my wls anniversary and we met at the gas station because he had no gas in his car.  Right by the side of the road on both sides were homeless people with signs begging for help, work or whatever you could give.  I was horrified, I felt terrible and of course I never have money with me so I had nothing at all to give them.  When I asked my son about it he said they have been there for days, a man and a lady.  The publisher of the newspaper I work lives in this town also, I can't imagine why we haven't done anything to help raise awareness, people are starving, they are homeless, they have no hope.  I felt guilty eating, I gave my son all the leftover food, he has no job and I am his sole support, but these people don't even have a home.  I feel just dreadful for them, I don't even know what to do to help, I mean seriously its gotten so bad I don't even go out unless I have too because gas is so expensive.  Where does this end, with us all homeless.  So very sad.

   You got that right. My 17 year old grandaughter is living on the streets right now with her boyfriend that won't work because he's black and says no one will hire him. I am so scare for her and she won't answer her text phone. It is a sad situation all over the world, so many people suffering, wish I could help them all. If everyone would give just a little, we could make a difference. Too many greedy people though. Please tell me what your son is going to do- can't  he stay with you?

 You have done AWESOME! I hope you find a way to resolve your RH issues ... good luck with that... my DH has it and has not even had WLS ...and we have had some real scares requiring multiple hospitalizations...

You are a beautiful woman ...BEFORE AND AFTER...

I would like to contribute ...AND to walk ... have to check my schedule for the later.  Where/how do I sent contribution????
