MONDAY GRATEFUL POST

Good Monday Everyone,

Hope everyone had a amazing weekend and is looking forward to a fantastic week too.   As we all know....we have NO guarantees of anything in life.    We should be grateful everyday when our eyes open that the good Lord blessed us with another day to live life and have second chances.   I am very grateful for those second chances.    Today I am so very grateful for my WLS and all the choices that you have for different surgeries that I didn't have the choice of.    Grateful for keeping most of my weight off these past 8 yrs since my surgery.    You notice I didn't say ALL.    Most of us who had WLS DO have a small re-gain.    That doesn't make us a failure...it is just a normal thing and thank God my surgeon told me to expect it.     Not all do gain but when life happening and stress it DID happen to me.   I'm not grateful for that....but GRATEFUL that I can warn others that when stress gets in your life.....turn to exercise and NOT food.    Grateful for my OH Support Group and all of the message boards here on OH and all the staff.   Grateful for my life and especially my health.    PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today.   Have a blessed monday.

Hugs and blessings ~~ Vivian

I'm grateful for my family.  Spend the weekend at my brother and visited with my nieces, & their families.  So, nice to be around the innocent young children.  They brighten the day with everything they do.  And don't even realize it.

Glad you had a good relaxing weekend with your brother and his family.   Family is SO very important.     And Children definately brighten any day IMHO.   Have a blessed week Brenda and thank you for sharing.
