WLS Success-through Powerful Positive Attitudes
Recent Posts
I'm off to the vet and hope my boy is OK. Got to check out the fatty cyst that they tell me not to worry about. I don't need this to be bad before I go to California.

No matter where we are in our Journey, we all have steps for success. Some of my steps have been sted-fast, others have changed as I have gotten "older".
I would Love to hear others' steps for success.
Here are a few of the things that I do I will start with the few that I started doing pre-op and move forward:
1.) I Visualize Everynight, how I want my body to look, and how I want my body to look. (The only think I would change here: Visualize Bigger Boobs!!! 
)
2.) I try educate myself & Listen - I beleive as the Buddhists do, we have all the knowledge within us, it is just up to us to find it.
3.) I weigh everyday.
4.) I try to Spend my calories like I try to spend my money: Wisely.
5.) Before I put something in my mouth I ask myself "Am I really hungry?"
6.) I will never "DIET" again! (A four letter word that has a very bad connotation for me.)

Love yourself unconditionally.
Regrettably, some people battling obesity feel they are unworthy of love. Years of negative comments has made them feel unlovable--even though that is not the case.
Perhaps you have spent so many years hating your outer self that you can no longer see any inward beauty. Your self-worth is not dependant on your outward appearance. Own this concept today! Do not hesitate to break down those beliefs of worthlessness.
Action for the day: Think of someone who loves you absolutely, and take a peek at yourself through that person's eyes. If you still can't see, ask that person directly to share the beauty they see in you. Don't worry about appearances; you're not being narcissistic. This is about your emotional healing--about finally recognizing the beauty that is in you.

it's a BEAUTIFUL day after a WONDERFULLY BEAUTIFUL weekend.
So why am I blue?
Well... the 5K that I had planned on doing this Thursday... with the group from the bariatric center has been canceled. Not the whole 5K just the "team" from the center. I think the guy planning it... didn't plan so well. probably missed the register date!
Furthermore.. it is a TEAM only event. MUST have 4 people- must be sponsored by a business. (the center- in our case) so I think he was a dragging his feet and we miss out.
HA... but i was trying to figure out how I was going to DO ALL the stuff I need to do on Thursday and still have energy for the 5K.
at least one thing I don't have to worry about!
SO...
IT'S ALL GOOD!
Have a GREAT DAY!
