OH is celebrating the ObesityHelp National Conference 2014 and wants you to be part of the fun.
Join in and help us celebrate with our exciting GIVEAWAYS. 
Good Thursday Everyone,
Happy Pre-Friday Everyone. Hope your week is going well. We ALL have so very much in our lives to be grateful for even though we feel at times like we don't. Funny how sometimes our thoughts try to convince us that someone or something is out to get us and steal our joy and peace. Those things have been going on in my life but I KNOW that I am truly grateful for everyday that God allows me to stay on this earth. I am grateful for Obesity Help, their faith in me being a support group leader for them and for all the years of being on these message boards and encouraging others. I'm so grateful for my weight loss surgery and the choices pre-ops have today of different surgeries. I am grateful for the weight that I have lost even though I never reached my goal weight it's OK. I KNOW I am a success and I am grateful that the numbers on the scale don't let me think that I am a failure and I know that I am a good person and that number doesn't dictate my self worth. Grateful today for my WLS, Family, friends, my faith in God and answered prayers. Grateful for all the people on these forums who answer questions for others everyday 24/7. Grateful to be part of such a amazing WL community. 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.

"The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather in a lack of will."

Good morning,
Nothing exciting going on in my world today. Work and watching Grey's Anatomy are my plans for the day.
Scales lied to me yesterday morning, either that or I gained 3lbs in a matter of a couple of hours. Digits still in goal range which is what matters.
Have a great day!

Today is National Law Enforcement Memorial Day. Enough said.
Managed to get some exercise in yesterday. Good thing since I'm road tripping today for work. If you're taking their grant money, or equipment in this case, you have to jump their hoops. Have to go to Jacksboro to get the computer mounted in my truck. Office ladies upon finding out I would not be in the office wanted to know if I was going to make coffee before I left town.
Make the most out of what you are dealt today!
Thanks for all the thoughts & prayers....DH just called, he gets to spend another night in the hospital.. They are still watching the numbers--still in hope the swelling goes down enought the his heart will start working better. Dr will probably be in later this afternoon. Work is slow today... have the back door open letting the fridge/freeze part thaw out, it can be cleaned. So, work then over to the Heart Hospital to see HD on way home tonight. that's my day! Hope everyone can get out & enjoy the sunshine today!

Good Wednesday Everyone,
Hope your having a good week. Mine has been very stressful but I'm getting through it. Everyday we have so very much to be grateful for. One thing that I am so grateful for everyday is for the person who invented these life saving WLS. We ALL owe this or these people our lives. I had no life so to speak before my WLS. Yes I had a family but I was pretty much a couch potato and eating, sleeping and watching TV was MY life. UGH that is No life. Thank God for my WLS and all the support and encouragement I got from friends and some family members during this journey. Not that it has been a easy way out because IMHO there is NOTHING easy about having WLS and what goes with it but it is SO very worth it. Grateful for my life. health, family, friends, OH, my WLS and all the different choices today for WLS. God, my faith in him and answered prayers. Grateful for everyone on OH who offers answers for questions on these message boards. PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today and have a blessed day.
Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE FOR TODAY.....
How different our lives are when we
really know what is deeply important to us,
and keeping that picture in mind,
we manage ourselves each day to be and to do what really matters most.

Good morning
Brenda, keeping you and your DH in my prayers.
Sister got home last night so I am done with aunt duty.
Did like working at her house, it is much quieter since she don't have dogs.
No meetings today on my calendar so hoping I can stay focus and get at least one task off my to do list.
Happy with numbers on the scale this morning.
Have a great day!

Thanks for the new perspective Bugs!
Brenda, glad to know DH is doing better despite the need for the pacemaker.
Found out I'm road tripping tomorrow to get the computer mounted in my truck. Multiple opportunities for fresh Starbucks since I have to go into the Metroplex.
Walk and work are two and one on the docket. All the glass, or ass, time I'm getting I need to doing something involving movement.
Happy Hump Day!
