THURSDAY GRATEFUL POST

  Good Morning Everyone,

I'm praying everyone is having a amazing week.    You know....life has SO very much to offer us if we will just take that bull by the horns and run with it.    We have NO guarantees given to us in this life.   Life is simply what WE MAKE IT !!!   Today I am so grateful for my WLS and even though I never reached my goal weight/BMI....I am SO much better than before my WLS.   I am SO grateful to God that my insurance co. covered WLS.     I am STILL a work in progress after right at being 7 yrs. post op and I will probably still be working on "ME" till the day they put me 6' under.     I am grateful for everyone who has touched my life during this weight loss journey and everyone here on Obesity Help who offered up advice, love and scolding when I needed it.   Sometimes I STILL need a good kicking in the back side.   LOL     So Thank You everyone who has given me advice ( if your still on OH ).    PLEASE Share if you will what you are grateful for today.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

I am grateful for a beautiful wife and a kind, caring and respectful daughter. I am grateful for the people who accept and love me for who I am and not how I look, and I am grateful for the people who pass judgment and spur me into action. I do, however, pray for them because their days are much longer and their minds are never easy since they spend all their time concerning about everyone else and not on how they can reach out and help those people.

I am grateful for every pain-free day and for each and every challenge that's before me. I look forward eagerly to meeting and exceeding goals and overcoming those challenges. I am mostly grateful for the opportunity to reach into people's lives and help them however I can.

Finally, I am grateful to you Vivian, for putting up this post to help me remind myself of all the ways today will be special. Cheers, and God bless.

Today I am grateful for OH. For having a place where everyone understands, and is going through it together. I think my husband is grateful for here too because he doesn't have to hear me day in and out about WLS. lol I appreciate the honesty, kindness, support, that is found on the site.
Saying big prayers today that I get my approval from insurance (should be today or tomorrow!) but am trying to have faith that whatever the outcome is that is the course I'm meant to be on.
Loving these grateful posts!!
