TUESDAY GRATEFUL POSTS

Morning Everyone,

I didn't say "good morning" because I've been awake now for almost 3 hours.    Not quite sure what is up with that one but I'm sure it WILL be a good day later on ( maybe after a morning nap LOL ).   We ALL have so very much in our lives to be grateful for everyday.    We are alive and breathing...maybe our weight or body shape isn't what WE would like for it to be or look like with our "finished" weight loss success or maybe we didn't loose as much weight as we wanted or got into the size clothes that we really desired to be in .....but all in all....we SHOULD be grateful for the weight that we lost and also for the opportunity given to us to have our "chosen" WLS in the first place.    I am SO very grateful for my WLS going on 8 yrs now.   I can't even imagine where my weight would be now ( and my health ) had I not had my WLS.   I was approaching 300 lbs. when I began this journey and I am only 5'1".   So I was a "big....petite woman".     I am so grateful for where I am.....I have had a small weight gain....I'll be honest about that.....I am working on trying to get it off but sometimes life and issues come up to stress you out to the max and the weight just won't come off.    Sometimes I feel like a "failure"....I know I'm not deep down though.    Life sometimes has a way of getting in our way.    I just have to remember as everyone else does...this is a LIFE LONG journey.    If I never ever reach my goal wieght I am still a SUCCESS !!!   I am SO very grateful for my WLS and all the positive changes that I have made in my life.    I am so grateful to God for every good thing that comes my way.    PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today and have a blessed day.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian
