Good Tuesday Everyone,

Hope your week is going well. Mine is going to be very busy....week that is. In a little while I have to go to the lung specialist with my hubby and this coming weekend my 28 yr. old son is moving back home ( hopefully for not very long ). Needless to say I am very grateful today for life and for God giving me another day to live life. Today I am grateful that over 9 yrs. ago I started looking into WLS. I went to a seminar and it took me about 7 to 8 months to finally decide that is what I wanted to do and get that ball rolling. That is one of the best decision that I have ever made concerning my health. I am so grateful for my health, life, WLS choice, family, friends, things that I can do now since I have lost weight ( BTW....I never got to a NORMAL BMI ). That doesn't make me a failure though. I am a much healthier weight that before and that is more what it is about....NOT so much reaching that magic number on the scale although that would have been nice... but to get healthy and be happy with who you are and what you've accomplished. I am grateful that it finally clicked in my head that I don't have to be that "magic size or number" to be a success. I think we ALL beat ourselves up when we don't reach that goal ( number ) that we had for ourselves. I am SO GRATEFUL that I finally "get that". I am grateful for God opening my eyes to so many things in my life that I thought were important and really they aren't that important at all. Grateful for my faith and answered prayers. SO grateful for Obesity Help and all the amazing people here always willing to help out another fellow WLS patient with questions and much sought after answers. Grateful for support groups as well. PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today and have a blessed day.


Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CAN NOT CHANGE;   COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS THAT I CAN;  AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE !!!!    THIS IS MY DAILY PRAYER.
