Some thoughts to ponder

Holiday shopping this year will be done around 30lbs or more lighter! We won't even be hungry to miss the spiked egg nog! There are great Splenda cookies recipes so we won't feel left out on the fun! Any clothes recieved as gifts will have to be returned because they are TOO BIG!!!!!!! When we dress up for any parites we will feel fabulous because we'll know next week, that outfit will be too big!!! Friends will say "You've lost weight and look great!" and for once we can believe them! Walking the mall will be easier. We'll ring in the new year as NEW PEOPLE!!! Next year...we'll keep that resolution to loose weight and feel better! By the summer we'll be wearing shorts and maybe even a bathing suit!!! We'll offically have TWO BIRTHDAYS!!!!!!!!!!! A birthday and re-birthday! Just some thoughts to ponder as we are waiting for our November!

THOSE THOUGHTS SOUND WONDERFUL TO ME, RENEE! I CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR THE HOLIDAYS, ESPECIALLY THANKSGIVING. I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THIS GIFT OF A NEW LIFE! NOT QUITE TWO WEEKS AWAY AND I WILL HAVE MY NEW BIRTHDAY!! KEEP POSTING, RENEE, AS I LOVE READING YOUR POSTS. YOU ARE AN ENCOURAGER!

Them are some great thoughts to ponder, indeed!! Thanks so very much. I sure needed some positive insights about the holidays!! I see your surgery is scheduled for November 11th, I hope everything goes smooth with your procedure and recovery. I will be thinking and will send prayers your way. Mine is November 17th so, I will be right behind you. See you on the losing side!!! Good Luck and God Bless..

AMEN GIRL!!!! I've already told my family NO CLOTHES for Christmas... It'll be nice for me because I got a lot of nice clothes last Christmas, and then promptly put on fourty pounds so I couldn't wear them. Those clothes are sitting in my closet, patiently waiting for their triumphant return to my active wardrobe WOOHOO to smaller clothes and SHOPPING!!!!

This year I am asking for... a pedometer gift certificates for clothing stores... gift certificates to Trader Joes and GNC to buy what else, but protein shakes! walking shoes (MORE!) hmmm what else? OH! gym membership!

Thanks for making me smile!! Those are some really great pluses to think about. Imagine 2 birthdays means 2 gifts!!! =}

How true, how true. So many changes in the coming months. A new adventure ahead.

Renee thank for the uplift, I really didn't think of anything like that. I just thought of how wounderful it would be just to get around better. Good luck to you with your surgery.

This view you write, sounds so wonder I cant wait to savor these moments, I'm also very sick due to my weight, Dr's say once I've lost the medicine can go away because I wont need them anymore. Thank God, I will be healthy enough now to watch and interact with my children and possibly someday with their children, those are the greatest gifts God could ever give me is my health and my family. I will be so thankful this thanksgiving day and so joyful this christmas, there will be so much reason for this season. God Bless everyone see you on the other side. My surgery date is November 5th at 8 a.m. Oh My Gosh.....
