Hello everyone

Hello to everyone, I just wanted to pop in here real quick before I start my busy week and say God bless us all and keep up all the good work you are all doing. I heard a great thing the other day..If your car breaks down,be glad . This just meqns you are blessed with a car to drive. If you come home so tired everyday from work, relax and smile, this just means you havea the great fortune of having a good job. Just because we might rum into difficult things and road blocks in our life, NEVER EVER LOSE FAITH!!! God loves us all......Look what he has done already in all of our lives AMEN

What a great Monday morning inspiration! Thanks Ron!!! Cheryl

Morning Ron Funny you bring up this subject of being blessed with everything we have in life. I have been really feeling down in the dumps and this morning I laid in bed thinking and questioning myself. Without going into a long drawn out story of my sad depressing life I'll make it short. I told myself. SELF!! get out of out bed and stop this now!! You where blessed with a new start in life and given a wonderful gift and if you abuse that gift then it's not going to work. I saw my surgeon last week and tomorrow I'm going in to get my blood work done to rule out any problems. I have to be honest with myself and so once again I said. SELF, listen up. The problem probably rest on your shoulders and that problem is not eating properly and drinking enough water. As of today I'm climbing down off my "feel sorry Thrown" and climbing up onto my "getting better thrown" I had a lady I work with approach me yesterday and asked me what's up with my weight. She said your looking so tired and run down. She said you need to give more time to yourself and she is right. We spend 95% of our time worrying about family, friends and even work and that was fine before having WLS but now we must focus on the one gift that was given to us and that's our pouch. I'm still stuck in the mind set that I can abuse my body by not giving it food and water but I can't do that anymore. Oh I can do it but I'm finding that you have ill effects because of it and that's not good. My thought process is all off whack. I'm feeling tired, run down and just a royal ***** lately. See what happens when you drop in once a month. You get a mouthful from Donna herself Donna 338/166

Thanks for the wonderful sentiment Ron. Today will already be a great day, as I am having my third grandchild sometime today. My daughter-in-law is being induced, as she has passed her due date. I am hoping for a grand-daughter, as I already have two grandsons. Although, either boy or girl, will be dearly loved. I just really want a grand-daughter. Please help me think..... girl, girl, girl... at least for today. My problems are almost non-existant, so I am very grateful to God. Happy Monday Morning !! Remember, think "girl" for me. Karen G

Good luck Karen on getting that Grand daughter your wanting Keep us posted. Donna 338/166
