How WLS has change my life! - LONG

Can I just say you are truely an inspiration. From the first day I met you until now you have opened your heart to me and I have seen you do it with others as well. And don't let me forget your smile that warms the heart. You have shared so much with us and supported so many. I have really enjoyed and will continue to enjoy getting to know you.

Tracy- You give me hope!  This post is straight from the heart and so honest.  You are right, God is good and he is working for all if us.  We just need to open our eyes to see! Thanks for trusting us all with your thoughts.  You are incredible. Love, Jeanne

All I know my love, is the last time I saw you you looked different.... not the weight... but a weight looked like it had been lifted from you...  You were sincerely shinning from the inside out. YOU are an amazing giving loving person and dont you ever forget it. Much love to you my friend............... Your doing fantastic!   Im proud of you!

Tracy- I have always thought you have a beautiful soul. And when you are beutiful on the inside, you shine on the outside. I'm glad you are finally beginning to feel better about yourself. God definately is the answer. I believe he has a plan for all of us. And each one of us plays a part (that he choses) in each others lives. We all challenge each other, offer strenth, support, etc. He sends us what we need. It's our job to open our eyes to recongnize the gifts he sends us. Looks like your eyes are wide open. I'm very happy for you. And yeay!!! The scale is moving again. How cool!!! Hugs, Lori

Tracy,  You are truly incredible...Since the first time I read a post from you when I started on the boards so many months ago, I knew you are special. Your honesty and your spirit are wonderful!  I am so happy to know you and am so blessed to have OH and you especially!  (((HUGS)))) CarolN

Tracy- What a beautiful and inspiring post!  I am so glad that you are starting to figure things out and take the steps needed to make youself an even better person.   As much as this place has helped you, YOU have help this place.  You are a caring, encouraging and honest friend to every one that gets the chance to meet you here.  So, I wouldn't be quite the same without you.  Who would I call about a silly grilled cheese sandwhich. lol   I know for me as well, if I am not connected to God my life is not quite connected like it should be, so I am working on the God stuff too.   Keep loving those freckles girl!!!  Love ya!

Ahhh, my good friend-sister-mentor!!!  You are amazing-that post was so from your heart and so true.  You are becoming lighter not just physically, but spiritually-and your light is shining.  You are truly a daughter of God, and He loves you!!  so do I! Thanks for being yourself, and being my friend-I LOVES YOU!!! hugs- lynn

This place, everyone here, and this whole journey, is just amazing to me.  I have to share a story with you Tracy. Last February 28th, I hauled my nervous, shy, skeptical self into my first PNC support group meeting.  Other than OA, I'd never been to any sort of support group meeting for any reason, and all my defenses were up.  As I looked around the room and started to take it all in, my eyes landed on this gorgeous, well dressed, confident, obviously intelligent red-head with KILLER HAIR!!!  And I decided right then and there - I don't like her.  Why is SHE so together while I sit here feeling like such a slug?  Why can't I have a presence like that woman???   That was before you even had surgery.  Knowing you as well as I do now, I bet you'd have never described yourself the way I saw you.  Just like no one around me would ever describe me as nervous, shy, or skeptical. I THANK GOD for allowing me to have an open mind and give people a chance when my narrow-minded pea brain might not.  I THANK GOD for bringing me to this place, my WLS journey, my new FAMILY.  'Cuz I really can't figure out what's better - losing a mess of weight, or finding so many beautiful friends to share my life with. And I THANK GOD for you, Tracy.  You mean more to me than I know how to express.

What can I say that hasn't been said???

YOU are wonderful, amazing - so giving and caring.....I'm so lucky to have you in my life!!!!

Thank you for being YOU!!!

 

Love ya friend!!!!!!  Miss ya bunches and yes - I will try to make Eagan coffee - I need a Tracy hug!

Tracy, you exude the positive reflection of the amazing plan God has for you.  I sincerely commend your heartfelt honesty in your beautiful post.  We meet angels along our paths, and you are truly a gift to many of us!  Much love Bright Eyes;  I am so looking forward to getting to know you better!  Have an awesome day and rockin' week!  Hugs galore, Patti
