Just had to share

Hey there!  You aren't gonna believe this but I hung out with Pacia (Trish) last weekend and we were talking about you.  Saying we have no excuse NOT to hang out with you because we are so close.  Hitting you on the BL to give you my contact info again.

Hey Kim.........................Yes, it really makes a difference when we hear a kind and positive word.....we're so so hard on ourselves--and for the most part people see what we sometimes don't see!!  Go back and look at some of the gorgeous pics you've taken,you are beautiful and so very blessed----you still have it going on !!!  Funny how God will put just the right person in our path to say just the right word(s) of encouragement at the moment!!!

Taking one day at a time--today I'm going to look "pass the trees" and see my accomplishments on  this never ending  WLS journey.

Much love to you,

Margo K.

  Thanks so much Margo.  You have ALWAYS been such an encouragement to me throughout this journey!  You don't know how much that means!

Hey Kim,

Always good to see your beautiful face her on baf.  I'm assuming your mother
is deceased and if so I know what you mean by waking up feeling some kind
of way.  My mother is dead also and when I dream about her it does impact
me for awhile.  The dreams leave such an empty, drained, sad feeling.

I'm at a place where I'm beating myself up for letting my re-gain situation get
35-40 lbs out of hand.  But you are right, I am grateful for where I am,   I've still kept off about 230 lbs.  Some people never get a hold and gain all of it back. 

Thanks Kim for posting this food for thought today.  I hope your day is a great one! 

Yes, she is deceased....it will be 10 years this year.  Seems like yesterday.

I really have to learn to count my blessings daily!

(((KIM))). I find it so funny that someone just told me that I was missing the forest. Thanks and such an awesome testimony! I'm focusing on what I can do and letting God do the rest!!

That dayum forest can be so easily missed!  LOL

Hi Kim........................My beautiful "cyber-shero"!.....  Yesterday was my Mom's birthday, and I always reflect upon her goodness and how much love she brought to us all.  So I was in a funky mood also.  But it never fails when I think of her, I also have to recall her great sense of humor, and how she struggled with weight issues all her life.  I know if she were still with us, that she would be so proud of me and all that Ive accomplished on this journey, and that brings me great comfort.

So to all be encouraged and grateful for where we are today.  Even though we may not be totally satisfied at our results, it's a better place than where we used to be.

  OK, I'm crying again now...happy tears!  I can so relate to what you are saying.  My Mom also struggled with weight issues too.  We would often talk about how if we ever got a job that the insurance would cover the WL surgery we would be on it.  LOL

So I know in my heart that she is smiling down on me and so happy for me too!  And you are right.... it is soooooooo comforting! 

Thanks so much for sharing this!! Just what I needed today!!
