Happy Thanksgiving

Hey All, I'm wanting to wish of my extended family a VERY HAPPY THANKSGIVING. All of you have a very special place in my heart. And each of you give me another reason to be Thankful this year. This year I have so many things to be Thankful for. Home- although it may be messy at times, I'm not homeless. Health- even though I do have health problems, I'm not dead. Family- they do get on your nerves at times, but they love you-faults & all Friends- even with our differences-they make each day worth getting for. God- for forgiving me and loving me, even though I am far from perfect. And last but not least- The USA Troops who make our lives, homes and country safe. Those that are willing leave their own families and their lives to protect people they will never know.

Hey! Happy Thanksgiving to you too!! I am thankful for all the same things you are thankful for. I am also thankful for this surgery-even though I cant eat as much as I want. I am thankful for this board for helping thru the dark times and for not letting me give up cause I came soooo close. I am thankful for the 39 pounds I have lost for keeping me warm for so many years. I am thankful they are gone cause I can ride my bike 10 miles and can wear a size 12 (on unbloated days)... What a long day.... Work til 5 and then cook cook cook. I have made 2 batches of potato salad -one regular and one cajun. I have made a green salad with all the trimmings and cornbread dressing. I am give out! I think I am gonna go play spades on yahoo for a little while and then to bed. I am looking forward to tomorrow cause I miss my family but I am also aware that I will overeat and possibly throw up. I am aware that everyone will talk about whats on my plate and ask if I can eat all that. I will have to be very choosy what I put on my plate. I know I cant have the ham and turkey or chicken cause my pouch doesnt like such things - but I know I will try. I pray that dessert doesnt tempt me. Even though I was never a sweet eater--I have a feeling pecan pie is gonna get the better of me. PRAY FOR ME! I hope everyone has a wonderful turkey day and are thankful for all things good in their lives! I love yall Christine
