Lose Weight Find Life
Whew! Hectic week but checking in
I had a very hectic couple of weeks. The past two weeks had lots of deadline items that I had to meet and, of course, all coinciding back-to-back. I made it though!!
Thursday was my half year surgery anniversary. Yes, I celebrate half-year anniversaries and birthdays. My kids love it because they get a mini celebration. I'm so grateful for the strides I've had in the past six months. I've had a lot of insights that were very deep and meaningful for me. Those whole WLS process has been so, so much more than about the surgery. When you lose your weight, that is external but the real work is in the inside. When we do the inside stuff, it takes care of the outside and weight regain doesn't occur and the really bad food struggles are minimized.
I am very grateful today. I'm grateful for all of you in a place that we can be ourselves and share.

Today I am up to my eyeballs in gratitude. Grateful for my lap band surgery; for reaching goal' for relosing what I gained with the help of BOTT folks; grteful for my BOTT family, grateful for maintaining my new goal weight; grateful for losing 1 of me (lost 100/weigh 110); grateful for my health; grateful for my husband; grateful for my children; grateful that out son came into my life even if he left way too young; grateful for the joy I feel; grateful for the peace I feel; grateful for what I have learned; grateful to be alive. And that's just a few of my favorite things 
Since my band surgery in 2003 to my revision surgery this past January I have had a lot of ups and downs. I am very grateful for the life that I have. If I hadn't made changes in 2003 I don't think I would be here today. I wouldn't have my wonderful husband and amazing son in my live. I feel very blessed today.
Cathy,
Congrats to you on anniversary. The surgery is a piece a cake compared to dealing with the inner or inside stuff. That is something I am determined to get thru one way or the other. Thanks for this post. It reminds me I have to deal with the inner stuff to move forward and succeed permanently in my journey.
