MONDAY GRATEFUL POST

  Good Monday Morning Everyone,

How was your weekend?   Hope it was a good one.   Yesterday I baked 9 dozen cookles to send to my son who is 300 miles away in Teen Challenge.    I plan to get them in the mail to them today so hopefully they will enjoy them on wednesday night after their chapel.    We ALL have so many things in our lives to be grateful for.    Although I doubt seriously that we give it much thought.    I think most of us ( I am also gulity of this ) seem to take things that come our way for granted.    Today I am grateful for my Faith.    I have faith in a higher power that I call God, have faith that choices that I make in my life and for my family are good ones, Faith that my son who is in Teen Challenge will come out of the program in August and be drug free for the rest of his life.   I also have Faith in my WLS that I will be healthy and live a long productive life.    I could go on and on but I will stop with this.  PLEASE share with us if you would like what you are grateful for today.    Have a blessed day.


Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

H elp. I need your prayers. I had lap band 19 m0. ago and got to my goal weight in 10 months. Now I have gone off and can';t see to get back on the wagon. Today is a new day and I am going to try AGAIN. I have gained 25 pds and my cloths are getting to tight. I feel like a failure again and am ashameb for anyone to see me. I am in tears this morning. I need all the support I can get to just help me get through the first few days. I love to cook and the holidays haven done me in. I keep saying to myself that  I can do anything  with Gods help. Please ask all your friends to pray for me today and I know I can get back to my goal again.  Thank you so much.
 

 As one Viv talking to another....you CAN do this !!!!   Congratulations on your success of reaching your goal in 10 months.    That is AMAZING !!!!    First off....rid your house of ALL off limit foods and you know what your trigger foods are.    You can also do to 5daypouchtest.com and do that.     All is NOT lost !!!!   Get to exercising.   Do proteini shakes if you need to....get in ALL your water and all your protein requirements.   Go to Fitday.com and log your food intake.    Limit your calories and measure your food and make wise choices.   I'm sure you will get that 25 lbs. off before you know it.    Pray for God to help you in this and I KNOW that will happen.   PM me anytime at all.    Trust me....I am NOT perfect either nor is any of us.    I will definately have others pray for you to get back on track.    God will help you....just pray when foods are tempting you.    Good luck.
