So wonderful

I am so happy I had my surgery. Not only do I feel better, I am starting to look better and people are already noticing. 16lbs has made a huge difference to far. My life is turning around and I am enjoying things like actually sleeping better, not having as much knee pain and the gym has become a fave. I will be working with my trainer next Friday on weights!

 

But with all that aside, I have met some wonderful people on this website. I try to be encouraging so other people who may be a little nervous or on the fence about whether or not to have the surgery - NO DOUBT HAVE THE SURGERY, will consider the greatest gift they could have. But you all have been so inspiring to me. I love reading about how you all are doing. We cannot compare ourselve to anyone else because we all don't come from the same place, but I know anything is possible when I read about how great you are doing.

 

I love to come on and find a friend request or personal message. It truly makes my day. After working hard all day, I cannot get on line quick enough.

 

I know with hard work and my doctor's help I will lose the weight this time. My first fill will be in 2 weeks. I am motivated and have waited so long to be able to afford this surgery that I will keep going until every last pound I want to lose is gone.

 

Join me, let's keep eachother motivated and excited about this trek we are on. I am not naive; I know I will not have a weight loss each and every week (although wouldn't that be great?), and it is in those times I will need your support and a shoulder to lean on. Thanks for being there for me.

 

Have a great night everyone. Let's get thinner and healthier together. Eileen

Thank you, I NEED to do this together with all of you. I still need this site and I am a year out from my surgery. I go on every day and learn something new about someone or something about LB or even being motivated. Another added bonus when I am at my computer I am NOT thinking about food or eating it. I keep my paws out of the cookie jar because there is a rule no food at the computer. Blogging keeps my paws busy too. I am so glad I have all of these positive vibes to relate too in my ever so crazy life. Thanks for being there for me too!! I am one year and down 109 my next blog will be about my new BELT fetish.
