My newest Wow Moment

It was very touching. My 8 yr old grandson came up behind me and wrapped his arms around me and said Grandma Cindy I sure LOVE YOU. I almost cried. Not because he loved me but he could wrap his arms around me. I keep forgetting I am not the 299lb grandma he had a year ago. He is a special kid. Of coarse I am prejudiced. I know. On another good note, my daughter got home from 6 mos. in India. She was working for MCI opening a new center. It was so good to see her. Even though she was only there from Sat. Afternoon till Sunday afternoon. At least I know she is safe in the states again. She lives about 5 hours away right now but will be moving to 35 min away in March. I am so excited. My son who lives 2 hrs away is moving 5 min. away the first of Feb. I just had to be patient and let them do their growing up away from me and they decided to come back closer to home. So all in all I had a great weekend. How was all of yours? Thanks for listening I just had to share my good moments with someone. Cindy G.

Hi Cindy, I am a newbie here, haven't had surgery but waiting for it. Just starting the long road so many of you have blazed before me. I feel like I know a lot of you already because I've been reading a lot of the posts. I am at 300 now and almost easier to jump over me than walk around me! Can hardly wait till my grandkids can do the same as yours. But mostly I just wanted to say..the 2 most important things we can give our children are roots and wings. Sounds like you did a great job of giving them both of those items. Congratulations on your loss(weight) and your gains(children)! Linda

Thank you Linda for your kind words. I am happy you have joined our site. We will enjoy taking your ride with you on your journey to weight loss. You will be walking in my shoes in no time. It is a real exciting time. Have you had a consult yet? Do you know which Dr. you are going to have do your surgery? I wish you the best, and want to offer any help I can give you when you want it. Thanks again for being so kind. Cindy G.

Hello Cindy Well, school started today. I am almost ready to hit the books. I got the house rented out for my aunt, and I'm a lot happier. I already have tons of homework. I don't want to start it, but I'm ready to. THen, stupid me, got a parking ticket. Went to my attorney's office and parked in a permit only parking spot and went in for 2 seconds and got a parking ticket. How lucky can I be? Still only $5 but still stupid me. I should have known better. I picked up an application from the hospital here in town, so maybe I will try to get a part-time job until school is out. We'll see. My weekend went too fast. This week is going even faster. Well, need to get to my homework. Take Care And, hey, Could you kick me in the butt? I sure could use it. Love Lisa

Lisa that is great news that you have the house rented, that must have been a load off your mind. Hope everything goes well now with the house. I think it is kind of funny that you got a parking ticket. Sounds like something I would have done. Not good though because it cost you money. We just get in to big of a rush and don't always think about things. Don't kick yourself to long over it. Just chalk it up to another goofy thing. My weekend went to fast also, and I have been so sleepy since. I must not be used to doing some of the things we did last weekend. Or just getting old. That is the real reason. You hit those books young lady or I will come and kick your butt. You will do fine, you just stress to much, lay back and do your work, You are an acheiver.(sp) You can do anything you set your mind to. What kind of work are you looking at, at the hospital? Sounds interesting. Well good luck to you on everything, just know I got your back anytime you need me to. I am cheering for yourside. Love, Cindy

Hey Cindy, It's a great feeling I know. Its been awhile since I seen you I need to make it to the next meeting. My weight loss has slowed down but its still going down slowly but surely I have lost 133 pounds so far. Well anyways take care and hope to see you in feb. Lavonda RNY 05/27/05 421/286/?
