Topic: RE: CHECK out page 44 of Obesity Help magazine!!!!

This is a wonderful article. II liked what you shared about "Whose WLS rules are the best? tThe ones that work foryou! IF you journey is not going where you want it to go then I would suggest a change. Find someone heading the same way as you and you;ll get there twice as fast!"

I know for me, I was not pointed to any support after my surgery and didn't have much success my first year. After joining WLS Success - thoughPowerful Positive Attitudes, I watched post for awhile and followed ya'lls advise. It works, if you work it.

The whole OH Magazine this issue has been Great and Inspiring! If you don't take it, get it.

Yvonne:

Thank you for sharing. It reminds me that I don't have to look in the mirror and still she the "Fat Girl". In the OH Magezine this month, someone shared "My perception of my body is distorted. When I hold up a pair of size six jeams, i think 'wow, those are hugh' or 'gosh, my thighs look so big still'. I'm not sure when you get to the point that you see the correctly sized person that you truly are. - shammy" I can relate to that - even though I have hit my goal and wear that size six, sometimes I still see the Fat Girl; instead of the Beautful Woman God has given me. That is when I have to read my daily gratitude list and remind myself of what I have been given, a NEW me.

Topic: RE: Great article about stress and obesity

Absolutely. I dealt with stress over a year ago and stayed at my weight for months. I found a doctor that focuses on the 7 Healers (Air, Water, Sleep, Food, Exercise, Relationships and Purpose), got involved in his weekly meetings and started applying those in my life to help me deal with the stress in my life. By getting involved in your support group and others, this also expanded my support and strengthened my relationships - which was so impactful to my journey in recovery.

What a difference it has made. I reached my goal, I feel absolutely GREAT and have a passion to help others walk this journey.

I've mentioned stress so many times and it truly does mess us up!

Topic: RE: Declutter your life.

Molly this is a great one. Clutter can affect us in so many ways...even in our minds. If we get rid of clutter we can make room for new things, new ideas and better things in general. It's like holding on to old ideas and old ways. When we get rid of the old stuff we make room for new!

When I got rid of my clothes it was a massive collection. 30 years of obese clothes filled about 6 of those huge black yard trash bags. I could barely pick them up but even though there was a lot of nice clothes, they didn't fit anymore and I didn't want them to fit ever again!

Thanks again Molly for always sharing great stuff.
Hugs, Y

I had several people ask me to share this. I think it resonated with so many that are having a hard time forgiving the fat girl....

I knew you would do it!! Well I'm going to try to make you feel even MORE uncomfortable!

You Are The Woman

GOAL DANCE!

Again, you are the one that inspires me. I have known so many that start slipping into those old habits and they don't catch it even though it is never too late. You caught it when you needed to and I'm so proud of you!
