Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!        I am glad . i sometimes post  and think why......now i know.......keep smilin

Hello all you fine people...
I promised I need to do more thing to keep me from forgetting where I have come from..... you know reminders of where I once was......So today I got on the scale with Dianne and we weighed...... I also fixed a healthy 1 egg vegtable omlette.... I am going to go for   a walk today and hit the pool ..... I also am going to unpack my total gym...and use the damn thing...lol.....
   Yesterday we started talking about diets again...I had to laugh to myself thinking 4 years ago that Gastric was my final "diet"...God how wrong was I...... The last few weeks and even the last year have been filled with Y's in the road.... alot of bad food choices and some bad not doing exersize...has made me gain a few pounds..... I am somewhat  happy that my bad choices have only added on about 25 lbs but I still need a swift kick in my bucket.......

So here is my assignment to you all because i need your help....... I need inspiration as all of you do...Dianne and I are working hard to make WLS work for us and honestly have never really been with someone on a daily basis that has been through the wls trip also .... now I have no excuses....... but it would also be cool to get to know more of you and see your trials and tribulations....... So once  a week I would like for you to come out of your shell and share a story with us as a board for inpiration..... I would like it to be real , from the heart and honest....... to make all of us feel that we are not alone... Maybe in doing this we can inspire newbies ,oldbies and everyone struggling or succeeding on a daily basis.

MY QUESTION TO YOU IS THIS:

WHAT WAS THE FIRST RECOLLECTION OF YOUR BEING OBESE AND RECOGNIZING IT........

WHAT EMBARRASED YOU ABOUT BEING OVERWEIGHT AND WHAT DID  YOU DO TO HIDE IT ?

WHAT RIGHT NOW,,,, ARE YOUR WANTS TO SUCCEED IN YOUR WLS JOURNEY.........

TELL ME WHAT YOUR BIGGEST SUCCESS IN YOUR JOURNEY THAT YOU HAVE BEEN AFRAID TO SHARE BECAUSE YOU WERE SCARED......


In knowing that we are not alone and we are human will help us be who we are there is no faliure if we try..... There is no failure if we believe that we have givin life our all........

THANK S ...YOUR SMILES AND KIND THOUGHTS  ARE MY INSPIRATION ALONE... EVERYTHING ELSE IS A BONUS.......RON

To all that responded to my post last week thanks... I wanted to respond back but life finds me busy...... you all are amazing.... From those of you that have had to those of you that are looking into it.......Thanks....... My life is going better on a Daily basis we all make mistakes, we all make choices that we shouldnt , I still beleive its what we learn and most of all, what we do to prevent it.......
When I moved down here life was moving so fast ,,, so many things to think about ,,,, missing family ,,I took a job that after the first day I hated and was so ready to move back to my comfortable spot ....... I am happy to say I have left that job and start a new job next week at  a college in Columbia as a Maint director.... I am so excited..... I can get back on track and start my dieting again on a normal basis not trying to figure out when to eat while working 3rd shift.......
Just wanted to say I am smiling again and life is good...... thanks again..ron
