TUESDAY GRATEFUL POSTS

Good Morning everyone,

Hope your week is going well so far.    Mine is going fantastic.    You know the old saying " Life is what you make it"....it is so true for us everyday of our life.     We can make our life good by being grateful for what we have or make it miserable by focusing on things we don't have or want but don't really need.    Also we can make ourselves better by focusing on the weight that we have lost and how much healthier we are than before our WLS began than focusing on the negative...."I didn't reach my goal weight....I am a failure" kind of attitude.    Life truly is what WE make it.    We can chose to be a positive person or not so positive.    I am so grateful today that I try not to focus too much on negative things.    This world in which we live has enough negative.    All the news on TV is filled with bad and negative things.   Our WLS journey will go so much easier for you if you focus on positive things....don't compare YOUR journey to that of others either or you will be sitting yourself up for failure.     Our bodies are ALL different and the weight will come off differently for us all.    So PLEASE don't set yourself up for failure by doing that.    Not sure why I am sharing this with you today....guess someone needs to hear this.    I am so grateful today that we are ALL different and that God has designed us all to be our own person.     Grateful for my life, my WLS journey. and the chance that we all have to share our journey with others and give them lots of encouragement and support.    Grateful for you reading this now even if you don't respond.    Grateful for my health.    PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today.    Have a blessed day and Chose to make your life AMAZING today.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian
