  Good Morning Everyone,

I'm praying everyone is having a amazing week.    You know....life has SO very much to offer us if we will just take that bull by the horns and run with it.    We have NO guarantees given to us in this life.   Life is simply what WE MAKE IT !!!   Today I am so grateful for my WLS and even though I never reached my goal weight/BMI....I am SO much better than before my WLS.   I am SO grateful to God that my insurance co. covered WLS.     I am STILL a work in progress after right at being 7 yrs. post op and I will probably still be working on "ME" till the day they put me 6' under.     I am grateful for everyone who has touched my life during this weight loss journey and everyone here on Obesity Help who offered up advice, love and scolding when I needed it.   Sometimes I STILL need a good kicking in the back side.   LOL     So Thank You everyone who has given me advice ( if your still on OH ).    PLEASE Share if you will what you are grateful for today.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

  Good Morning,

Hope everyone is having a pleasant week so far.    We ALL have so very much in our lives to be grateful for everyday of the  year.    Today I am so grateful for our firefighters and police officers.   They are there for us on a daily basis to protect and to defend us.    Grateful today for everyone *****ads and responds to these posts on the message boards on OH.    We ALL need lots of support and encouragement on this life long journey to get healthy and get our excess weight off.    Please share with us if you will what you are grateful for today and PLEASE try to encourage someone today that may not get much encouragement.   Have a blessed day !!

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

  Good Morning OH Friends,

Hope that everyone had a great weekend.    Mine was good.   I had my monthly OH Support Group.   We had a new person Welcome MoosesMom.   It was really nice meeting you and hope you join us again.    Today I am so grateful to be a OH Support Group Leader.   It is something that I really enjoy doing and feel very lucky that OH allows me to be chosen to do this years ago.    I am SO grateful for support groups.    They tend to give us support when times get difficult in this "life long journey" we are on.    SO if you don't attend a support group....please look into one.    They even have OH Support Groups that are online only so you have no excuses.   PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today.   Have a amazing week.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian
