  "The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself."
– Anna Quindlen

This quote hit home with me this morning.    I know for myself....I thought that once the weight came off my body would be perfect.   Boy was I WRONG !!!  Even after PS it is still far from perfect...but I am working hard...very hard on discovering the "real ME".....extra skin and all.   I have discovered that I AM worth something and I am a GREAT person to be friends with.    I am beginning to LOVE myself just the way I am now....although I would still love to be perfect...it isn't in the cards for me.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CAN NOT CHANGE;   COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS THAT I CAN;  AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE !!!!    THIS IS MY DAILY PRAYER.

 You know what.....I am NOT the person that I was prior to my WLS anymore.   I was quiet and somewhat shy before WLS.   Now I am almost the opposite of that.   I love talking to people and getting to know them.    I love encouraging and supporting people on their WLS journeys.    THere are times that I would love to walk up to a MO person and tell them that there is HOPE for their life improving and getting better.   I will NEVER forget what my life was like prior to WLS and I NEVER EVER want to go back to that place.    Sorry....didn't mean to get on my soap box.   LOL   I get like this sometimes and go off the deep end.   LOL   YOU have a blessed day and work on becoming yourself.   I know I will.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian
