3 THINGS FOR FRIDAY
Good Morning Maryland
Today I am grateful for
1. NO TRAFFIC THIS AM
2. Looking forward to spending time with friends this weekend
3. That I have started getting back to the gym this week - and the one day I didn't
I went bowling so that is exercise as well.
4. For my family and friends - Thanks ladies for your thoughts and prayers

Happy Friday All,
Today I am grateful:
1 - That today is Friday. For various reasons, this has just felt like a bear of a week. I am looking forward to enjoying my weekend and starting fresh with work next week!
2 - Feeling hopeful - We talk much about all of the positive things and that is important and good to do. At the same time, the further out you get,, all of the complexities of managing food for the rest of your life come flooding back and it is quite an adjustment, at least for me, to learn how to manage all of the compulsions and feelings I have around food. Yes, I have done well and my decision to have this surgery was one of the best things I ever did for myself. I have had several bouts over the last several months where my compulsions win over my happiness and desire to continue to do well. When this happens, I feel defeated, angry, etc. I have been taking steps to learn to manage all of this better and I am feelling quite hopeful today. I had a controlled day yesterday and I feel hopeful for the future. I am certain that my demons will visit me again. But I feel better equipped to manage my way through them and not beat myself up so much about it. If anything similar to this happens to you on your journey, I recommend talking about it and get some professional guidance. That is what is helping me, the support from all of you and the professionals I have been consulting.
3 - My upcoming surgiversary - Tomorrow is my first surgiversary. When all of this is in front of you, it is hard to imagine that so much change can happen in a single year. You hope it will, but there are still doubts, perhaps these are carry over feelings from all of our past attempts to change our lives. Well here I am, a year later and so many wonderful things have happened. My goal of getting my life back has been realized. I feel good, I am doing so much more than I thought possible. I have new goals for the next year and beyond. I want to reach my weight loss goal. I want to successfully maintain my healthy habits. I want to make the most of this new life that has been given back to me. Words cannot express how thankful I am for everything that has happened and the future that lays before me.
Have a super weekend everyone.
Debbie

Good morning everyone!!
Today I am grateful:
1. That my son is doing so much better, and that we finally came home yesterday!
2. For all of the positive changes that are happening in my life right now!
3. For my best friend Rigel! I know I have said this before, but this past week she has supported me so much. She helped me stay strong for my son this past week, and I can't thank her enough for all that she has done for me.
Hope everyone has a wonderful friday, and a fun filled weekend!
