MONDAY GRATEFUL POST

  Morning Everyone,

Today is going to be a great day.....I just know it.   Even though I had a small weight gain this AM....it is OK.   I am back on track.....keeping a food diary and exercising.    Wii Active kicked my back side yesterday.   LOL   Guess I need to get back into shape.   I know the gain is due to sodium...had WAY too much of it yesterday.    This is a post to remind us all that no matter where we are in our journey we ALL have so much to be grateful for.    Heck....waking up is one of them and if you are reading this.....I take it you are not still asleep.   LOL    SO PLEASE share with us something that you are grateful for today.    Today I am so grateful for my WLS.   Almost 6 yrs. ago before I had my RNY my bariatric surgeon said said that without surgery I probably wouldn't live another 10 yrs.   You know....those are not words that you want to hear.   I was a very healthy MO person ( if you can be healthy and MO ).   I had asthma and border line diabetic.    BUT I also was approaching 300 lbs.    For a person 5'1" that is HUGE !!!!   I am not perfect ( trust me ) and I never reached my normal BMI but I did reach my surgeon's goal weight for me and I am now trying to pull about 13 lbs. off to get back to that weight.   Grateful that I had my WLS and that the "tool" does still work if I chose to eat healthy and exercise.   Have a wonderful monday and fantastic week.

it is so enjoyable to read your post.  I am grateful that when I blacked out a week ago and fell on my back that I only broke my tail bone.  It is painful, but I keep going.  It could have been much worse.

 I am SO SORRY that you blacked out last week.   I too am grateful to hear that you only broke your tail bone.   Too bad that you had to break anything.   Hope that the doctors found out what caused you to black out.    Praying for you to not be in too much pain and for your healing.   Have a blessed day.
