I am grateful for my Faith, my family, friends, OH friends, my husband, that Fall is being mild(at least in Minnesota)...I am grateful for my weight loss, I am almost to goal (!)...grateful for advice and encouragement from here on the message board and from my support group, and my "team"....I am grateful for the opportunity (FINALLY) to wear "cute" clothes...(and I am still shrinking..) Hope everyone has a terrific week ahead!!!

  Good Morning Ya'll,

Hope everyone is ready for a dynamite weekend.    I am SO ready for not so much the weekend  but for next week to begin.    I am getting a NEW kitchen !!  WOO HOO Can't wait.    Needless to say we ALL have so very much in our lives to be grateful for ( my kitchen it just a little part ) LOL.    Sometimes it is the "little things" in our lives that we should be so grateful for....the things that we sometimes take for granted.    I am grateful today that I have both my arms and legs.    Grateful that I am still able to think with my brain although sometimes I seem really dingy.  LOL   Grateful for my WLS and my weight loss....although I NEVER reached my goal weight......I am still very satisfied.   Grateful for my Faith and answered prayers....with out those two things.....I don't know where my life would be.   Grateful for my family, friends, health and life.   Grateful for my future and for support groups that are so extremely important to our WL journeys.    Have a blessed weekend and if you are near the NY area.....think about attending the OH conference there.....it should be awesome !!!  PLEASE if you would like share with us what you are grateful for today.    Have a great weekend.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

which is living with the results of other people's thinking.

  Good Morning Everyone,

Hope everyone is having a amazing week !!!  Mine has been really good.     I am getting a "new kitchen" next week.  I am SO excited about that.   This is something that I have talked about for years.  My BBF can't believe that I have FINALLY made up my mind and are going to do it.   I have  hired a contractor and have picked everything out.    I do dread the mess that I will be living with next week....but he promises me it will take no longer than 6 days ( I have a very small kitchen area ).   Anyway I am SO grateful for that today.    We ALL have something ( if not many many things ) in our lives to be grateful for.   I have way too much to be grateful for him my life right now.    Today I am grateful that I found and purchased all my new appliances yesterday and they will be delivered on tuesday.   SO grateful that I just happened upon this contractor who is AMAZING !!!   Grateful for my WLS and all the choices of different surgeries.   Grateful for the 5 lbs. that I have lost this week. Grateful for my life in the last 6 yrs. since my WLS and grateful to have had a smooth journey.     Grateful for my life, health. family, friends, my Faith and answered prayers along with so very much more.    If you belive in prayer please pray for my middle son who is in a drug recovery program for pain meds and is going to the dentist in a little bit to hopefully get his wisdom teeth removed.    He will have to recover from this with NO pain meds at all other than tylenol.   Prayers also needed for my husband who pulled a muscle in his calf yesterday and is in pain everytime he walks.    PLEASE share with us if you will what you are grateful for today and have a blessed day today.


Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Vivian, I am so sorry to hear about your cat!! I am grateful for people who post on this site so we can know that we are not alone if we have struggles with our bands, or with whatever surgeries we have had. I am grateful that these tools (WLS) are available for the people who choose to get them. I am grateful for friends, old and new..some I do not know in person(like you all on the message boards!) I am grateful for all the things I can enjoy now that I am losing weight. Thank you Vivian for reminding us all how much we ALL have to be thankful for!!

~Kim~
