THURSDAY GRATEFUL POST

Happy Pre Friday my friends,

Hope you are all doing well and making plans for a amazing weekend.    Today I am so grateful that I had WLS going on 8 yrs. ago.   I was in a very sad situation before my WLS....actually hopeless.....I felt that I was doomed to be a blob sitting on the couch everyday.    If I stood more than 10 minutes my lower back and hips hurt so much I felt like crying.    I got winded just walking around my home and doing very little in my home.     I can't express how very grateful I am for my friend who had WLS and came to visit me and told me about her journey and she kept after me till I looked into it.    I was very shocked to find out that my husband's insurance covered it.    I guess the rest is history.    I am SO very grateful for this friend and for my WLS that literally gave me my life back.....that being said it was hard work on my part but it was totally doable.    Grateful for my health, my life, friends and family.    Grateful for the things that I can now do and I pray that I NEVER take them for granted.    Grateful for Obesity Help and all the amazing forums......I got so much wonderful advice and information here during my WL journey.    If I had issues there were always someone on one of the forums that I came to that would be nice enough to answer my questions.    I am SO very grateful for OH and all the staff here that is also here for us if needed.    Grateful for my faith and answered prayers.   Without God in my life I know that things would have been much harder....HE is my strength.    PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today and have a blessed day !!!

I can identify with that. That's what I'm trying to turn around now. It's hard but my doctor convinced me I could do it because I've done it before. So I'm hopeful.

Thanks for posting it.

As long as you have breath in your body and when you make your mind up.....YES YOU CAN DO THIS !!!!
