Happy wednesday to you all.    Hope everyone is having a great week and looking forward to the upcoming weekend.    My week started out bad but is improving with every day.   Life never guaranteed us a rose garden nor a perfect day everyday.    Life is what we make it....it can be good or not so good the choice is ours for the making.     I choose for life to be good and not for cir****tances to ruin my day although sometimes it is easier said than done.   LOL    We ALL have so much to be grateful for in our lives.   We are blessed and sometimes we have real problems seeing that.   I know myself sometimes as positive as I am I let those negative thoughts in and when that happens.....well lets just say that's not a good thing.     Today I am SO grateful for the little things in life that I take for granted.......electricity, my dishwasher, the things in life that 50 years ago didn't exsist.    Grateful for my WLS and the choices for the chosing of different surgeries.     Grateful for my Faith and answered prayers.    Grateful for my family....husband, 3 sons and my daughter in law.    Grateful for second chances in life.    Grateful for my life and health and that in the almost 6 yrs. since my WLS I have been complication free.   Grateful for the cooler weather that we are experiencing.     PLEASE share with us if you will what you are grateful for.   Have a blessed day.


Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

 All successful people men and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose.

Hello Vivian! So sorry to hear about your cat~! I am an animal lover. I love my pets...my Pug Tanner is my baby. We found out my husband is cancer free Friday.
I am grateful for the unconditional love of my furry babies, my hubby and his health, and my family.
Now that my husband's journey has had a happy result--I need to get back on my weight loss journey---I have not been using my lap band tool. I am thankful for this site and meeting some people with food issues and being supportive of eachother.
Have a great evening!

 Hope everyone is having a great week.   Mine isn't so well..we lost one of our cats yesterday.    She was  hit by a car.    She disappeared from my home last friday ( I live off a 7 lane road ).  It was a sad day in my home.    We assume she went out our doggie door with one of the dogs.    I know she is in Kitty heaven today.   Enough of that.....We ALL have so much to be grateful for everyday in our lives.  Even the smallest little thing that people take for granted such as someone letting you ahead of them in line and the Walmart or someone smiling at you.   Sometimes we also have to just make ourselves be  grateful for things because life seems so bad at the moment.   But there is always something....we are so blessed and half the time don't even realize it.    Today I am grateful for all my furbabies.   Trust me...they are like my children !!!   They are spoiled rotten.   Grateful for my WLS and all the choices for WLS today.   Grateful for my life, health, husband and 3 sons.   Grateful for my support group and second chances that have been given to us through WLS.    Grateful for all the blessings in my life and all the bad things that happen too because I know that there are lessons to be learned from them all.   Grateful for you on OH and grateful for OH and all the OH Events ( there is one in NY coming up quickly ).    PLEASE share with us if you will what you are grateful for today.
Have a blessed day !!!

Hugs and blessings ~~ Vivian

  Forgiveness ... is the finishing of old business
that allows us to experience the present,
free of contamination from the past.
- Joan Borysenko

You may be saying to yourself as you read this....SHE HAS LOST HER MIND  this AM.   What does THIS have to do with losing weight and WLS.    It does though.....think about it.....we must forgive ourselves or our parents for our past choices that made us have our weight problems and issues in the first place.    We also have to remember that we are NOT perfect and that we have to take things one day at a time in our life long journey to a healthier lifestyle.

  Good Morning Everyone,

Hope everyone is ready for a great week.    I know I am.   We ALL have so very much in our lives to be grateful for each day.    Seems that is one thing that we seem to take for granted is to share out gratitude with others.    Life doesn't guarantee us anything at all.    I know I ( like many others ) seem to forget sometimes to tell others and family members that I am grateful for them being in my life.   I personally have SO VERY MUCH to be grateful for.    Here are some of the things in my life that I am grateful for today.   I am grateful first for my Faith and answered prayers.    Second I am grateful for the changes that have taken place in my middle son's life through prayers and Faith.    Grateful for second chances in my life as a thinner person....my WLS, all choices for WLS available to everyone, for my family, friends, my life and health,  my 3 adult sons and my wonderful husband of almost 35 yrs.    Grateful for every good and bad thing that happens in my life.....the bad things seem to make me grow as a person and help me to become the person that I was meant to be.   Grateful for the wonderful message boards here on OH and all the wonderful people that I have met here.   PLEASE share with us what you are grateful for today.   Have a blessed week.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

 f I feel depressed I will sing.
If I feel sad I will laugh.
If I feel ill I will double my labor.
If I feel fear I will plunge ahead.
If I feel inferior I will wear new garments.
If I feel uncertain I will raise my voice.
If I feel poverty I will think of wealth to come.
If I feel incompetent I will think of past success.
If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals.
Today I will be the master of my emotions.

I am grateful for family (including my OH family!) and friends, and for my WLS and all that I can do since having it...6 months ago already! I am grateful that just because I gain a little over the summer, I am NOT a failure and I CAN continue from today on...
