Well DUUUHH
I forgot to post about this cute moment at work....
We have a new secretary who just started working with us about 4 weeks ago. At work last night the topic of conversation turned to gastric bypass and the multiple coworkers who have had it done, many with great results, and a few who don't follow the program and have had their struggles, never reached goal and/or have gained the majority of their weight back.
So at one point as we were going through the list I started rattling off names of those who have had it done..."Christine, Jamilet, Maribel, Terry, and myself" So the secretary looks at me with this wide eyed look and says "YOU had it done?" I chuckled and said "yea....in October" Her next comment was "You don't look like you needed gastric bypass surgery, you look skinny and healthy!" I started laughing and said "Well, that kind of is the point of the surgery...to look like you didn't need it and to BE healthy which I now am. I've lost a hundred and five pounds" I then brought up OH website and showed her my before pics - which she argued with me about them being me. A few co workers took a look at them (those who I have worked with and new before surgery) and said "I honestly don't remember you looking like that - it's like you've been this size the whole time I've known you"
It made my day.

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses. 
You're one of my heros, that's fer sure!! 
That's neat. Keep up the good work. You are an inspiration to me.

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.
