Guess what kind of JOY I got

Hello everyone, I just wanted to share my joy with you! Guess what happened? Well I went to the Dr. on 12/9/04 and he said I was doing great, I needed to exercise ASAP. I was still about 3 pounds away from breaking the 200's, which I wanted to achieve so very badly. So I went home and that evening I worked out for ten minutes, its a start. Then Saturday morning I did the same. Well this morning I don't know what got into me because I just got weighted at my last appointment, but God said girl get on the scale, so I did. Tears started rolling and I quickly jumped off the scale, re-adjusted it and got back on again, my eyes was teary and I could barely see but again I saw the same thing, my heart raced and I said ok this can't be right so I adjusted the scale and looked real hard, the scale read 195 pounds, I was shaking and my heart filled up with an unexplainable joy that only God can give you, all I could do was pray and thank God for blessing with what I so desired. God is good all the time and all the time God is good! I felt great leaving my house this morning am more focused and dedicated now more than ever. I love Life after WLS. I was so excited I just needed to share with my support base because I know you all understand! And for those we will follow me that read this use this as a story of inspiration. I love all of you and thank you for taking the time out to view my posting! Armena

Congratulations Armena Stay focused and keep on working out. You are doing great. God is good all the time. This morning when I got on the scale, I finally made it out the 200's too. I weigh 199, praise God. As always, wishing you much continued success. Peace and God's blessings always. Glenda

Thanks, that's what were here for. If you need any help or if you have any questions please feel free to e-mail me [email protected] I know when I was pre-op I had a 1000 questions and AMOS gave me the comfort I needed. Take as much time as you need before surgery, do it when you are ready because it is a mental as well as physical step in your life, one to be proud of, am proud of you. You have made the choice to save your life, your on the way to the losing side so you can begin to win! Armena P.S. Oh, let me go sign your support page, Bye!
