MARCHers going to goal!

There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other......Douglas Everett Are you living in a dream world? Do you think that just because you had WLS that miraculously you are going to be smaller and healthy without doing anything? Are you facing reality? Because you had WLS that it will take a bit more than a miracle to make you smaller and healthy? We all know the answers. WLS gave us a tool and we can turn that tool into our dream of being smaller and healthier, but the reality is we have to work with that tool to accomplish that goal. Just "thinking" it is going to happen without any additional work on our part just isn't going to happen. We have the ability to do what it takes to reach our goal, we just have to be determined to do the right thing and make the right choices. MARCHers going to goal - we are almost there - we can see the big light at the end of the tunnel...we have just a little bit more to go and for goodness sake - let's make the dream world a reality. What will you do today to make that dream you started some 18 months ago turn into reality? We can all do it...we can make good choices. What good choice will you make today - will you make 4 good choices - vitamins, water, exercise and protein??? Tell me which ones you will work really hard on today to make the dream a reality. How about practicing all 4? I know we can do it. Hugs to all....Barbara

Wow, jsut lost my words of wisdom, ouch. I don't have time to re-type but the jist is I like the word practice and am a big advocate of this type of thinking as it pertains to our journey. Practice eating right, exercising, listening to my body, resting, drinking water, sharing, etc etc. Thanks for your "style" of sharing. I like it. bigoletriguy

Practice is good....practice turns into results. Let's keep practicing doing the right thing and before you know it, practice becomes just first hand! Glad to see you back with us today!!!

Hi Barb! I got my pedometer and it works awsome! (Thank you Rebeka!) I've been wearing it for 2 days and "I really need to step up my game" but "I'm starting to see that light your talking about!"

Alright Di - Rebeka should be getting a kick back from Omron! Glad you are in the pedometer world - it really gives you some insight into what you are or are not doing! I want you to join us in our walk across America (on paper) beginning in October! Keep going to the end of the tunnel!!! Barb

lol! I'm glad you guys are happy with it. I really like mine. Very reliable

Barbara, You are right. This has been a dream world for me. Everyday I wake up I have to get on the scale and confirm it is for real. I grab my clothes and I am convinced there is no way they are going to fit me and they do. I hope I never wake up from this dream. Have a great weekend. Rick

Keep living that dream! But you know the dream has happened and it is real world for you now! You have a great weekend also!!! We are heading down to the casino this afternoon after my 18 month check up and my immediate dream is to "win the big one"!!!! I can be accountable in the casino because we only take $100 a piece and once it is gone - that's it...why couldn't I have been that way about my weight? 100 calories and that's it - instead of the 3 or 4000 I was probably consuming before! Oh well...live and learn! Barbara
