FRIDAY GRATEFUL POST

  Good Friday Morning Everyone,

Well.....the weekend is almost here.    Hope everyone has lots of great plans for the next few days.   I have a support breakfast in the morning.   I am always excited to go to that and see my friends.   As we ALL know.....we all have so very much in our lives to be grateful for....no matter how large or small.   We have NO guarantees that come with us when we are born to have a perfect life.   We are the one's responsible for making that happen.   PLEASE feel free to share with us a couple of things or however much that you want what you are grateful for today in your life.    Today I am grateful for....My WLS, this body that the good Lord blessed me with even though it is far from perfect and I complain about my midsection all the time.....it is 100% better than it was before my WLS.   Grateful for my life and health, family and friends,   my Faith and answered prayers.    Grateful for my friends who step on my toes when they need to be stepped on and put me in my place.   Although I don't like it at the time....I do need it at times.    For support groups and all the knowledge gained at them and the encouragement of course.     For Obesity Help and all the wonderful people I have met both online and at the OH Conferences  ( which there is one in Sept 9-10 in New Orleans, La. that I will be attending ).   For all the different message boards here and all the wonderful people who give support there daily.    Have a blessed weekend and day.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

I'm grateful that the APRN at my surgeon's office wanted me to see the nutritionist.  I went today, and while I, in general am eating properly, it was good to get a few suggestions from her.  Additionally, she gave me some journal pages to log my food.  That's always good for me if I'm accountable for someone else seeing them, and I'll return to see her the first week in August.  Not because she's requiring me to, but because I want to.
