JUST IN CASE THIS IS MY 'WELLEST' DAY ....

 

December came all to quick ... I have a Birthday coming up and Christmas to celebrate ... oooohhhhhhhh shoot! I have been celebrating every.single.day ... life with health and mobility and lacking or wanting for NADA... ohhhhhhhhh I am praising Rophe my healer and Jireh my provider right about now ... with a prayer .. a press... and a praise and sometimes getting totally ignoramus as in 'panamaniac' but knowing I am a blessed mess I am pressing on ..... on my walk away from morbid obesity .... one day at a time ... one choice at a time ... cause I am B.A.D. (BLESSED AND DELIVERED) and I own my past and my present ... I will never forget my former morbid obese self ... her release is my deliverance and my deliverance is her release ...  Almost 6 years post gastric bypass surgery ... keeping all of 203 pounds lost off with no regain and no regrets!!! I CAN DO THIS ... FOR LIFE!!!

Thanking OH for providing the space where I can encourage myself and/or maybe one other person with my goofy empowerment tool that I keep in a digital photo album ...it is my empowerment journal "A PICTURE A DAY KEEPS THE POUNDS AND THE INCHES AWAY" .... it is working for me .... 

These are the faces of my morbid obesity...

AND THIS IS ME TODAY..... posting 2 days before my monthly surgery anniversary 5 years 10 months post WLS ... and I have been on a health and mobility high since .... on the eve of my 54th b-day in two weeks I feel the energy that I did not have at 30 ... and I get all manner of compliments especially from people who don't believe that my adult almost 32 year old daughter and my almost 28 year old some are my children LOL.... I pulled a Tina Turner on my DH just for fun on Saturday ... cause I love to rock my legs in my LEGGs control sheep pantyhoses LOL.... I shared about the total body lift with those awesome garments on here before... the downside up and the upside down hoses...

I enjoy the awesomeness and being able to stoop/kneel/climb without achy/painful joints nor impaired mobility daily... I even crashed on the floor to enjoy a few moments in my family room with Pierre...

Then it was off to work .... started this KRAZY MONDAY morning with an AWESOME cup of Coffee 1/2 decaf 1/2 regular with a scoop of Click Expresso Protein ... it is TO DIE FOR!!!! 

And I made my my EMPOWERMENT COLLAGE FOR THIS DAY ..... THANK YOU OBESITY HELP ... FOR ALLOWING ME THE SPACE TO ENCOURAGE MYSELF THROUGH MY GOOFY POSTS AND PICTURES .... LIFE POST WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY HAS BEEN A BLESSING ... I HAVE 0 REGRETS AND AM TOTALLY GRATEFUL ....

My mom used to say that on our 'wellest' day we are all sick or well enough to die ... such is life ... I lost my otherwise healthy first cousin who grew up with us in Panama as a sister three weeks ago ... she was found dead in her home ... a few weeks after her 50th birthday .... it was a shocker to all .... I AM GOING TO MAKE THIS DAY AND EACH DAY THAT I HAVE A MIRACLE JUST IN CASE IT IS MY 'WELLEST DAY'.....

Thanks for allowing me to share...

all I can say is go GIRL !!!!

How did you know I needed to see this today?   I have been bummed out all morning because here it is almost another new dam year and I am still fat.  DAM! DAM! DAM!  I am so sick of my struggle, and I am pretty much losing my struggle and it sucks.

So this morning I woke up all sad and depressed and **** thinking about how fat I am and how everyone around me that has had surgery is so much smaller than I am and how no matter what I do I just seem to be getting fatter and fatter.

Ok, I have to get my ass off my shoulder and get back to determination ville because I cannot spend another year fat.

 

Thanks martitalinda as always you motivate me.  A picture a day is definitely keeping your fat away.

Its all about gratitude!  Enjoy your Blessings. 
 

You were gorgeous then and just as amazing now!! I'm so excited for my new journey to begin...I've been battling with my weight since the birth of my now 18 year old... I recently (5/10/08) had my 3rd child and it's been very difficult to lose this weight! I've done prescription weight loss...and worked out... I lost 68lbs. But then after getting a bad ankle sprain resulting in surgery..I've been unsuccessful in keeping the weight off... Your story gives me hope and inspiration! My foot surgeon said this surgery would help me tremendously! I can't wait!!
