HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
GOOD MORNING!
I just wanted to wish you all a happy Thanksgiving and share a thought.
Last night as I was driving home in traffic from work I was focused on my weight gain and upset that my clothes were a bit more snug than I like. I was trying to figure out what I needed to do to get these extra ten pounds back off. I started berating myself for being a failure and "getting fat".
I suddenly thought.....This surgery was never intended to be about a clothing size or even a number on my scales. It was intended to give me a better quality of life. To try to undo some of the medical risks that I had incurred from a LIFETIME of overeating. No, I'm not happy about the weight gain and I will try to get it back off but this surgery and I am in NO WAY A FAILURE! The surgery worked and I obviously learned a few things or I would not have to gotten where I am.
I AM A SUCCESS!
I will continue to be thanful that I had this surgery and I will continue to struggle but I will never give up and I will neverf again tell myself I am a failure! I've won this battle and the war within still rages but I will SUCCEED
You all have a blessed Day today!
Love,
Lisa
