Good Morning Everyone,

Hope you are all having a great week so far.   Mine is going alright so far.    A little stressful but not quite as much as in the past.   I hopped on the scale this AM and I am down another 1/2 lb.  WOO HOO for that.    Thank God it is moving in the right direction.    As you can tell by the name of this post if you have never read my post before this is a post for everyone to share ( if they want to of course ) what they are grateful for in life.    We ALL have something....no matter how big or small to be grateful for.     We all need some positive things in our lives and this post sometimes makes us realize that we DO have things  to be grateful for even though sometimes we think that that life is going down the tubes.  Even though life doesn't go as WE want sometimes......everyone has something to be grateful for.   PLEASE share with us if you want to what you are grateful for....whether you share one thing or a big list.    We love to hear it.    Today I am grateful for........My Faith and answered prayers,  my Higher Powers grace and love shown toward me, for family and friends and people lifting me up in prayer when life gets me down and when stress is taking control in my life,  for my dear husband and all the love he gives to me and for him taking care of me for the 34 yrs. we have been married, for my WLS, health and life, for no major problems with my WLS, for all the message boards here on OH and all the people here giving support, encouragement and good advice to others,    Grateful that my insurance covered my WLS, grateful for being almost 6 yrs. post op with no major weight gains.     Grateful to know that my "tool" ( WLS ) still is working and I CAN still lose weight.    Grateful for the upcoming Obesity Help conference in New Orleans, La.   Have a blessed day and sorry I woke a "book" this AM.  PLEASE share with us what you are grateful for now.

  Good Morning Everyone,

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.   Mine was OK....very stressful due to a family member but it will be OK.    I woke up to a surprise this AM....when I stepped on the scale I had lost 4 lbs. last week.   Now to keep it off and get some more off.   I think that today will be a great day.    Hope everyone is doing well today and slept well.    This post is to remind everyone that no matter what is going on in our lives....we ALWAYS have something to be grateful for....no matter how big or small it is.    Life gives us no guarantees.    We have to just go out and make it good or bad ourselves.    PLEASE share with us if you will what you are grateful for today.     Today I am grateful for.....
Getting my son back home from Ala., My WLS, family and friends, my life and health, for waking up this AM, for another day in which to make good choices with food and the second chance of my WLS offering me a life that I never thought was possible when I was MO.   For my Faith and answered prayers.    For all the blessings that come to my family and for my husband's job.    I have many many more things to be grateful for.....the list could go on and on but I will stop today with these.   Oh.....I am also grateful that my WL surgeon suggests Obesity Help to all his patients.    Without OH I don't think I would have made it.    PLEASE share what you are grateful for with us....and have a blessed day.

today I am grateful that the Lord has a plan for us all, and that even friends who are terminally ill, know He will take care of them, in His way!
I am grateful for my WLS, and that I got some questions answered at my last dietician visit. I am grsteful that to date I have lost 40 pounds and every time I get dressed I have to choose something different because my original choice is too big now.
I am grateful for family in Vegas, who invited us there, and that they are willing to accommodate my "eating plan"...
I am grateful for this message board and all the support we give each other.
I am grateful for so much more..too numerous to mention here, but glad we have a place where we can share our gratitudes.
