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

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!
Have a blessed day !!!

that allows us to experience the present,
free of contamination from the past.

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.

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.

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.
