5 years ago......And Coffee Talk
Yesterday was my re-birthday! On top of that, when I got to the Dr., I had lost 3 lbs. in since I was there exactly 4 weeks ago. Could be better, but I will take that. My tool still works even after 5 years!! I'm so proud that I had this surgery. There hasn't been a day go by that I regretted this. I would do it all over again in a heart beat! This surgery/tool has saved my life, in more ways than one!
I hope you all slept as good as I have. I didn't wake up all night. Nothing like a great nights sleep.
Our challenge for today is to appreciate WLS more and not to take it for granted. We had or are having this surgery to lose weight and live longer. Don't misuse it. Don't take it for granted. Eat right. Drink/sip right. Do what you KNOW you are suppose to do. Even though I had gained 20 pounds and have lost 3, I see that I have misused a gift that was given to me to be healthy and THIN!! My life long dream....to be thin.....to buy NORMAL clothes and here I am, taking my own dream away. What am I doing? I challenge you to look at it this way and TAKE BACK CONTROL OF YOUR DREAM AND YOUR LIFE!! I know I am. I have bought an ab lounger deluxe off of eBay for $40.00 and I intend to use it EVERYDAY! I cleaned out my closet last week and I have a trash bag full of clothes that I could not wear last year at this time. Now, they sit right in my closet door way so I have to see them every time I open the door. Why? To MAKE ME SEE WHAT I HAVE DONE! I appreciate WLS and my healthy life and I WILL NOT gain another pound. I WILL lose these 20 pounds and get back into my NORMAL STYLISH clothes. Who is with me?
I'm enjoying my awesome Maxwell House coffee today! What are you sippin' on? Have a great Wednesday whatever you do and whatever you sip on as well.
