My week is off. I woke up today thinking it was wednesday. LOL....Guess I am trying to speed the week up. I will be heading South early in the morning to pick my middle son up by 9 AM. I really dread the trip especially since I will be hitting rush hour traffic in several different big cities. Oh well...that too shall pass. I started a "new":eating program yesterday. I am grateful to say today that I am offically down 1 pound. I know....that is ONLY "1" lb. Let me tell you when you get to be my age and going on 7 yrs. post op your grateful for every little bit that comes off. I would like to lose about 20 lbs. I would be thrilled with 15 though. That will put me back to my "comfortable weight". I am SO grateful for all the support that is given here on OH. Grateful my WLS and Life. PLEASE share with us if you will what you are grateful for today.

Hope your weekend was great. Most people are on spring break this week so everyone who is have a great and safe week if you are traveling. Today I am SO grateful for my life since my WLS. I can't even begin to tell you how much better my life is since my much unwanted weight is gone. Everyone who knows me knows I never reached a "normal BMI" not that those numbers are normal. LOL If you think about it....we didn't have our WLS to get to a tiny size....we all basicly had our surgery so we would get to a "healthy weight".....get off medications that we had to take...etc. Why is it that we are disapointed with ourselves IF we don't get to a "number" on the scale. I know that number facing me on the scale everyday does affect what kind of day I am having. Even though that number is NOT what I am wanting to see today.....life is 110 % better than it was over 6 yrs. ago before my WLS. I am SO grateful for the weight that I have lost and kept off and the way that I personally feel today. PLEASE share with us if you will what you are grateful for today and have a great week and day.

Hope everyone is ready for the weekend because it is NOW here. I know that there are lots of excited kids because where I live it is Spring Break week this next week. Today I am SO gratefiul that I can now do things that I never dreamed I would ever be able to do before WLS. I know I can now walk all day long and not get tired. I can tie my tennis shoes without losing my breath......bend over to pick something off the floor.....go to the mailbox and not feel like I can't breath. Life is great since my WLS...notice I said GREAT not PERFECT. It will NEVER be perfect. LOL SO I guess what I am grateful for today is life being SO much better since my WLS. PLEASE share if you wish what you are grateful for today. PLEASE have a safe and great weekend.

Can't believe that the weekend is almost here again. Gee...I must be getting old. LOL Seems like it was JUST the weekend. We ALL have so very much in our lives to be grateful for. I know sometimes we feel as though there is NOTHING !!! But trust me...we have lots to be grateful for that we seem to take for granted everyday such as waking up....breathing.....having our arms and legs and eyes. Ok enough of that stuff....I think you get the picture that we should be grateful about the little things as much as the big things. Today I am grateful for my life and health. I was NOT a unhealthy mobidly obese person. In fact the only thing that got my WLS covered was the fact that my BMI was 50 and that I was "borderline diabetic" and had asthma. Thank GOD that my surgery was covered by insurance. I actually thought that I was doomed to be MO my entire life. I thank God every day for my WLS and for all the choices of WLS today. Just like clothes....one surgery does NOT fit everyone. All of the surgeries work....it's all about choices. Have a blessed day and PLEASE share with us what you are grateful for today.
