Booked my registration today. Yay!

We should have a NJ meet-up spot somewhere so we can all get to say a quick hello or hang out for minute!

Topic: Restless Legs???
Hi all...I am almost 7 weeks out from my revision to RNY surgery and the last 2 nights my legs just won't quit!!! As soon as I lay down to go to sleep they are twitching, spasming and just moving non stop.....it's so frustrating and it's keeping me up until 3am!!! I'm up all hours of the night walking around like a zoombie!!!! 

Any suggestions would be sooo appreciated!!!!

Hi all,
I just wanted to let you know that a year ago I started on my journey only to find out my husband's company did not cover the surgery.  I was devastated, but not willing to give up.  I asked for and got much needed support here.  I wrote appeals and got to the Independant Review.   They overturned the denial and now the company must cover the surgery.  I am beyond excited. 

So please, anyone who i****ting obstacles with companies or insurance, please do not give up.  I will post again once i have a surgery date.

Blessings to all.

Catherine

Topic: TGIF
 Be intrigued by your potential. Step back to evaluate what causes you to delay improving your life by not moving beyond the boundaries that hold you prisoner. Discard the patterns that do not work and rebuild your goals with substance, determination and the expectations of succeeding in them. Everyday is a new beginning; one where you can take one more step than yesterday and do one more thing tomorrow. Conquer your fears!

Attitudes are contagious. Is yours worth catching?

- Anonymous

What kind of emotional atmosphere are you creating?

Positive people are almost always natural leaders and motivators. People gravitate towards them, just as they avoid individuals who continually mope or complain. Take a look at your own attitude. Is it one that others would want to emulate in their own lives? Instead of jumping to throw in a negative comment, try to think of something good to say instead. By no means hold in your feelings, but remember that no one likes to be surrounded by constant pessimism. Attitudes are contagious so fill your environment with happiness, enthusiasm, and optimism!
