Topic: Happy New Year !!!
Happy 2010 Marchers !!!  It is hard to believe that it has been 6 years already since I started my journey and how far I have come in that time.   I've lost .. I've gained .. I've lost again ..  For me 2010 brings my 60th birthday and I'm headed to Las Vegas in two weeks with my best friend to celebrate our 60th's .. I know without a doubt that without WLS I would not be able to say that .. I might still be living . but I wouldn't be 'alive' ..

May 2010 bring you health and happiness !

Hugs, Mo

Comparison is the thief of joy!

If we spend our time comparing our life/weight loss/body to others, we totally miss what WE have accomplished.   Keep in mind how far you have come and what you can do now that you couldn't do weeks/months/years ago.   I hate the expression " It's all good", but in this case it fits!   Wherever you are in your journey  ... It's ALL good!!!

Topic: RE: Plans for my Holidays - What About You???
Hi Judy! I hope you had a fantastic Christmas and are gearing up for a wonderful New Year! My diabetes has returned - or at least my PCP thinks so, we'll have to test again in a few weeks. So the weight gain and return of co-morbidities is alarm enough for me to consider a revision of some sort. There are not many revision options for people who originally had RNY - I certainly won't go the DS route, that surgery is rediculous in terms of malabsorption and what you have to eat to get the nutrients in. I don't know what I'll do - for now, all I know for sure is I'm going to fight this until there is no fight left in me! How are you doing, sweetie? Love, Maureen

I've been out of town and just now read this. Are you having trouble other than gaining weight?
What are you going to do? Would you do some kind of new WLS? I'm just wondering what you are thinking about doing. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Love ya, Judy

God has given me this day to use as I will. I can waste it or use it for good. Today is very imporant, because I'm exchaning a day of my life for it.

Topic: Turkey is cooking

Wonderful smells are filling my house. Yesterday I was helping my sister bring packages into the house and watched all up and down each neighbor in my little condo village was doing the same thing with their familys!
Later my boyfriend came over and visited with my mother, sister, oldest son, duaghter in law an my daughter. It was so nice to see everyone sitting around talking and laughing and eating. Then we unwrapped presents! Such a mess but such fun!
this morning my mom and I talked for a while while I made breakfast and prepared different things for our meal.
As I made the meal I was thinking about how I cook so different now than almost 6 years ago. I season things now. My turkey is stuffed with an onion, apple, and orange. I do have stuffing that I've made for anyone who wants it but not inside of the bird. My Christmas cookies are pepperidge farm! I see people eating them so I do not think they feel slighted. hahaha All those years I stressed about making several diffrent kinds and al of the other high calorie sugary things. Not to mention the money involved along with all that baking and cooking.
I can't wait for the turkey it smells so good!
My little dog is waiting with her nose in the air right near the stove. sniff sniff sniff!!!
Merry Christmas and happy Holidays to all whatever you might celebrate!

Topic: Merry Christmas - I'm Counting my Blessings
Wishing you all a wonderful, loving, caring, kind, compassionate, passion-filled holiday and the best for this new year - unbelieveable how far we've come together! I just uploaded a new photo of Laela, my horse, standing in front of our barn. She has really been such an inspiration to me in keeping this weight off to the extent I've been able to. I am counting her as a remarkable blessing in my life. Share - what are yours? I believe in miracles. I believe Connie will post before the clock strikes midnight on 1/1. Be well, friends. Love, Your Reenie
Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today.
